Pudding Looks To Watch Phone Calls For Ad Targeting
blah
sadly its legal.
all the carriers have to do is either have an initial "line" on their activation sheet signed that documents what the intention of the signature is for & thus permits the advertising to the persons phone... or just put it in super small print at the bottom of the paper where ppl never read whats there to begin with.
I dont see this catching on with larger companies... but smaller companies that are looking to help keep themselves above water, i would think would be the interested parties... because i would believe Pudding would be paying them some sort of fee to have their database of advertisments dispursed across that companies network of phones.
I'm sure there will be some sort of "block feature" for an extra fee that would stop the advertising outright.
still... the customer gets screwed.
