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.
