Dismantle the Nielsen Company's monopoly on the TV ratings system.

Created by L.M. on April 15, 2013

The Nielsen boxes need to be eliminated because they impose a monopoly on setting prices for TV advertising. Advertisement prices are determined by the Nielsen rating a show receives. Our government needs to dismantle the monopoly the Nielsen Company has on TV ratings.

Also, TV shows' ratings are misrepresented by too small of a dataset (group of people) and are cancelled based on an inaccurate number in the ratings. Do you have a favorite show that is "in trouble" with ratings? We can fix this.
