Table of Contents
We have designed a system that ensures that any anonymous viewing information transmitted from a TiVo-enabled DVR remains unidentifiable to a
particular viewer (known as anonymous viewing information). Anonymous viewing information is collected separately from any information that identifies a
viewer personally. As a result, we may be able to use this anonymous information to tell a broadcast or advertising client the percentage of our viewers that
recorded a particular program or advertisement, but we will not know, nor be able to tell the client, which of our viewers did so, unless a viewer decides to
provide that information.
Employees
At March 22, 2010, we employed approximately 509 employees, including 49 in service operations, 285 in research and development, 65 in sales and
marketing, and 110 in general and administration. We also employ, from time to time, a number of temporary and part-time employees as well as consultants
on a contract basis. Our future success will depend in part on our ability to attract, train, retain, and motivate highly qualified employees. We may not be
successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. Our employees are not represented by a collective bargaining organization and we have never
experienced a work stoppage or strike. Our management considers employee relations to be good.
