IT staff, organization leaders, and the average citizen have all expressed levels of concern over the FCC about-face in regard to ISP privacy. Here’s what the security experts say.
Who Ends Up Paying to Mine that Data
"To be honest, it’s not good if the ISPs can actually put a Big Data architecture in place that would be able to take advantage of the information they are now going to have open season on. And this is about the only saving grace. The volume of data is going to be huge and the cost of mining through it is likely to be extraordinarily large. However, If they sell access to the data (to pharmaceutical or industry to do direct targeted ads/marketing), then they take the burden off themselves."
