Getting back to the basics of the Phorm selling USP. To protect from Phishing. That BT test made absolutely no reference to these capabilities, highlighting again that it, to my mind is an afterthought add on to make the whole DPI process have a level of paletability in the eyes of the user, else it would be like a Tesco Clubcard without the cashback, who would want one of those?

I've spent the last hour or so going through the leaked document again and it's still mind-boggling how much 'dirt' is in there.
One thing comes across very strongly and many people have remarked upon it; the emphasis on 'transparency'. This is transparency in BT/Phorm terms i.e. covert. They quote a 0.1% detection rate. That's high given the percentage of people with the technical savvy to understand that there may be a problem. They also address the issue of 'navigation bar flutter'. Clearly, this was not sorted for the 2007 trial because it was spotted by users. Now the user base, or certainly the tech savvy user base, is primed and looking for it. They will find it nearly impossible to proceed 'transparently'. They have also completely failed to 'manage' perceptions. Hence no trial? |

They can't run a technical trial until they fix the leaking email cookie issue... that means Phorm must not run a bt.com domain (or BT must fix their porous siteminder implementation). And arguably its too late anyway. They have leaked so many email addresses/customer account numbers/ip addresses to Phorm you would have to do a lot to convince anyone Webwise was really anonymous. IMHO they've blown it. And probably know it too. And that's before you start considering the legal issues. RIPA, Copyright, etc. Its a train wreck. |

Or put a snoop box into an ISP for that matter. That's a great pic, needs blowing up for the demo and put on a stick! EDIT: "It's a train wreck" would be a good punchline for the BT shareholders. (Handout leaflets etc.) |
