NEW YORK - Arbitron Inc. and The Nielsen Co. said Monday they ended development of a national research service.

The pilot service, named Project Apollo, has been in the works since early 2005.
"Despite a promising level of interest, we did not secure sufficient client commitments to make Project Apollo a sustainable venture for our two companies," Arbitron and Nielsen said in a statement.
Project Apollo was to be based on Nielsen technology that measures consumers' buying behavior coupled with Arbitron's portable people meter, which tracks electronic media exposure.
Arbitron is a media and marketing research agency, while privately held Nielsen is an information and media company.
