73% Of Broadband Consumers Want To Tightly Control Their Personal Data

A large majority (73%) of U.S. broadband consumers express a desire to keep tight control over access to their personal data, with nearly half being very concerned that someone will access the data without their permission, according to a new report by Parks Associates.

In terms of trust, only 5% of broadband consumers ranked pay-TV providers as trustworthy. Here’s how they rank as the most trustworthy companies:

62% -- Home insurance provider
59% -- Security monitoring service provider
58% -- Electricity provider
5% -- Pay-TV provider

Internet service providers, mobile phone operators and device manufacturers also come in as more trusted than pay television providers.
