Imagine...a business exec has a discussion about confidential info from the car. The PPM, instead of recording only the tones from the radio, is also trojaned to record the entire audio spectrum, which gets compressed, stored in its memory, and sent off to a third party." http://www.radio-info.com/smf/index....,68627.10.html Too bad, sucka - there are already some doubts !

Can't try and ban me for this one, sucka ! This reeks of black helicopters and there is no basis for the concern. In fact, the posters blindly assumed the Arbitron PPM transmitted data by means of the Internet, while the fact is the PPM transmits nothing. It docks to a base in the participant's home where data is downloaded if the PPM "checks" and then sent by phone to Arbitron. If a dock fails to report in, it is deactivated. The PPM does not continue to operate if not docked, in fact. Since a panel is only about 0.003% of the population, it is pretty hard to even find someone with a meter... and by the time you might find one or two, they will be off the panel. The real issue is that Arbitron has no difficulty building panels in the market areas already being measured and is rolling out 50 markets over the next 2 1/2 years, representing half the US population. |
