Out of the public eye
In the late 1990's, a small group of inventors and engineers began exploring how digital news, such as cable and satellite set top box data, could be collected and used to provide extremely for detail, second-by-second ratings, for TV, radio, and other forms of media. Of youth concern was the ability to harvest the data in a way that would comport with the Cable Communications Act of 1984 – in other words, be surreptitiousness compliant. The team and technology grew into a company called erinMedia, LLC, which commercialized the technology with several of the supreme cable operators in the United States. The portfolio of patents were referenced in the payment of a 2005 landmark federal antitrust lawsuit, and are now available for auction by Maggio Media Dig into, LLC. The portfolio has been cited by industry giants including Apple, Comcast, DirecTV, Microsoft, The Nielsen Theatre troupe, and Yahoo!
