Last fall, a coalition of American groups began to call for the establishment<\/a> of a “Do Not Track List” to parallel the telemarketing Do Not Call List.<\/p>\n

Their intent is to protect consumers from having their activities tracked and used by advertisers such as the cookies planted by various websites.<\/p>\n

Across an ever-growing array of electronic devices, from the Internet to mobile devices and beyond, consumers leave behind a vast amount of behavioral information that is being tracked and targeted without their knowledge. This “behavioral tracking” — the practice of collecting and compiling a record of individual consumers’ activities, interests, preferences, and\/or communications over time — places consumers’ privacy at risk, and is not covered by federal law. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Business Week had an article<\/a> in November that described why such a law shouldn’t be necessary.<\/p>\n

One of the concerns, of course, is that most free content on the web is supported by advertiser based business models. Advertisers will pay a premium to target the ‘right’ eyeballs.<\/p>\n

The flip side is that people should be rightfully concerned about the ability to control the type of personal information that is available to strangers.<\/p>\n

There is a balance of consumer interests at stake on this issue. Behavioral targeted advertising is a rapidly growing business for service providers, but it has attracted associated controversial policy issues. How do we establish an informed discussion of the issues?<\/p>\n

Bob Dykes, CEO of NebuAd<\/a>, will be participating on a panel at The Canadian Telecom Summit<\/strong><\/a> entitled Consumers in a Multi-screen World<\/span> – examining the technologies, applications and issues associated with converged services.<\/p>\n
