My Way News - Lawmakers concerned over Charter's Web tracking
AP reports: "Cable TV, phone and Internet service provider Charter Communications drew concern Friday from two congressmen and a privacy advocate over its plan to experiment with tracking its customers' Web use in collaboration with an online advertising firm."

Comment: Ok, let's think about this for a second (or more) shall we. If you are a subscriber to this ISP, your net use is being recorded and then sold to advertisers so they can target you with ads based on your surfing habits. Well, ok, as long it's for ads, and not for, you know, anything really sinister.
