As we go to digital television, our boxes will be able to tell advertisers about our finances/interests/race/religion/politics/credit history, whatever is in your big file that the telemarketers keep selling back and forth.

When we are "wired in", it will be possible to control the advertising programmed into a home to suit your position on the issues (I've heard the same thing about a website offering different positions based on the referal site that sends you to a candidate/party).

How long before this is implemented? 4 years, 8 years, 12 years?
