Inode,
What nitwit would agree to that? Hell, they'll be selling your usage data to Maytag.
I asked my coworker a similar question. What about privacy?

Do you really want the power company knowing when you turn on your TV every evening? Or the toaster oven every morning?

He didn't have a good answer for that. Of course, the examples I gave seem innocuous, but I'm sure people can think of other examples that aren't.
