I think VM were hoping to let the dust settle before deciding which way to go.
I suspect that's why there's been a virtual news-blackout from within VM: somebody figured it was best to keep quiet and definitely not to open it up for discussion with users (which worked well for TT, not so well for BT)
But at the end of the day, VM will have to make a decision based on the PR cost of compromising their customers' privacy (and the relatively small cost of some users leaving) or the potential £x millions from Phorm's advertising.
Just the fact that they've needed this *time* to ponder the decision is bad enough -- it's cut and dried for me. And ought to have been for them too.
