An alliance of 20 European media, e-commerce and agency internet service provider (ISP) companies are to launch a unified consumer login product, aimed at giving consumers complete control of their data. Users will be able to create a login that can be managed from a central settings centre and works across all sites owned by partners in the alliance, which includes broadcasters Prosiebensat.1 and RTL, ISP United Internet, publishing house Spiegel and e-commerce firm Zalando. The login system will be overseen by the non-profit European NetID Foundation, set up by the alliance, and eventually opened up across Europe.
