Who Values Your Data?
What is the value in knowing what is going on in each these Shanghai apartments?
Who would pay to know what the inhabitants use; their personal preferences; family preferences; what they look for; what they are planning; their secrets; what they buy; what they sell; who they communicate with; and what they communicate about; the emotional or practical value of that communication.
Which company will be the first to offer a we-pay-you-to-store-your-dataTM service? How many consumers would give up their pseudo privacy for a little cash?

I might be biased, but your definition of data looks to me, very much like "metadata of human life" or something. :)
What would be a sufficient/legitimate reason for a company in such business to terminate the customer relationship for such a service?
Or, how could a company, which operates in the quartal economy, offer such a service, which clearly must offer the customer some added value and what would be that added value? Ie. what is the business equivalent of a confessional.
