      ab: The failure of the SMART TV ratings initiative from Statistical Research Inc. as an alternative to Nielsen Media Research's ratings is the latest in a long list of failed attempts to launch a competitor to Nielsen. Many in the TV industry feel that SMART did not offer a great deal more than Nielsen's service. Nielsen is now looking into a number of different areas, such as measuring TV viewing on computers, compiling Web ratings, and analyzing so-called clickstream data from digital cable set-top devices.
