I am just going to grab a couple of hours sleep. I am hoping to talk to ORG later on this afternoon.

I should be back around 3-4pm.

could several of us take PI's interim PIA as a framework and write our own PIA?

this would be independant (as none of us are in the pocket of BT etc) and it would cause far more interest than a edited sexed up version released by phorm?

it could be launched at the demo, another reason for press to turn up and give us a bit of coverage

would any of you be interested in helping?

alex would have final say on content?

Branson is hiding under a rock waiting for this Phorm cr~p to blow over. Like many of these kind of public attention grabbing slurpers they'll be crawling out of the woodwork when it's safe to do so.

To catch Branson's attention, and trick him into a public appearance Alex should advertise for a partner to accompany him on some super fast around the world Phileas Fogg kind of venture. Just wrap the 16th July events podium in wicker basket material and wait for the grinning bearded one to turn up. :D

I don't think we need a PIA and we certainly wouldn't need to plagiarise from the meaningless. There's no need to apply a legitimate process to an illegal concept imho. My prediction for 80/20's PIA is that it will never see the light of day or will be covered in whitewash. At least it wastes some of Phorm's money but I suppose buying in a potential opponent was a sneaky move. Shame 80/20 either didn't see through it or simply weighed up the deal and took the handout.

If you google "BT AGM 2008", the protest is top hit...

A quick question while I update inphormationdesk.

Was sysip.net a Phorm domain at the time of the 2007 trials, and if not who owned and operated it?

(Forgive me if this has already been covered, I only came in at post 1992).

No... ;)
