The people meters will use technology developed by Taylor Nelson AGB of the U.K. BBM has licensed Taylor Nelson's people meter system, including its Picture Matching Technology, which handles digital video compression without modification. BBM will begin the service in September 1998. A year later BBM will expand the service to Toronto, and in the Ontario and Quebec regions. The service will be available nationally by the year 2000.
