"GridNetworks Internet Television service generates and collects high volumes of user data that go beyond standard web server logging, recording many dimensions of a consumer's Internet viewing experience," said Mark Madsen, Product Unit Manager, GridNetworks, Inc. "This data contains critical information on user behavior, network traffic patterns, historical trends, and quality of service -- key metrics for ad-based content monetization.
