they are joining forces to create an Internet tracking panel and other supporting solutions to deliver essential Internet media buying and planning tools for publishers,
agencies and advertisers in the CPG industry. The new service will be unveiled tomorrow at the fourth annual IRI Summit 2007 taking place at the Wynn Las Vegas.
