No, oh god no. Bell doing it means Rogers and Telus are not far behind. Which means Shaw will jump in too. This should be opt-in rather than out-out. Well since majority of online websites are tracking users, so it was impending decision I guess, all in the name of relevant ads. I am surprised they were not doing so already.<p>The data trove will be massive, since bell (rogers and telus) controls TV, Mobile and cable. The data aggregation from these 3 mediums will be very accurate, if they decide that data from other business arms should merge. Scary, since literally among Robellus 90% of Canada will be getting tracked.
