The vendors of say VMs billing system do not have to make a register because VM are storing their clients data on the system, they need to make a DPA registration because they are storing information on thier clients and their employees, and wow there are a lot of there and theirs in that sentence.

well OC they did need to register, as they have now done so.
its an interesting point though, and i didnt really give it much thought if any, other than the need to be registered to be legal.
ignoring for the moment that fact they were operational for a long time before they registered.
looking at the companys Patent capabilitys and objectives, and then their current DPP listing (im not sure if its changed since i last looked) today, it does seem likely they need to add a few more 'purpose' parts given their old BT trials, as well as any upcoming trial and deployments.
remember , these listing are for any company held records and data
they may have on a 'data subject',and so when you send a 'data protection act request' and the fixed fee, for any and all data held about YOU to be sent in by return post in human readable form, they must comply etc.
perhaps someone can go and look into that, and see what they might be currently missing in their listing.
