Did you miss the first sentence where they say that Microsoft, Comcast and Verizon all have patents covering this sort of data collection? Do you think those companies get to the patent phase without testing the processes?

It is lucrative data collected. Cable/sat companies can then sell this information.

This is OLD news, there was a report months ago about another provider doing the same thing.

I think it got shut down.
