Just think, with new and improved "interactive TV" you will be able to get commercials tailored to your purchasing habits (A doctor would get an commercial for an expensive car, while Joe Sixpacks would get the Ford Fiestiva).
I'm doing it now - software.net serves distinct ads to Mac, Windows, Text and Unix based browsers. On the name database side the PO runs somthing called National Change of Address which tracks who moved where and allows direct marketing companys to clean their lists. Almost everybody sells address change data (utilities, the PO, credit companys) - I'm getting tons of "welcome to the neighbourhood" mail since I moved.
