A deal that sells out those who have loyally supported you has never historically been successful in the longer term. Phorm's position is becoming untenable; when something is sinking the best advice is to let go.

Well I think that Phorm Team's arguments need to be countered, but then, yes I agree they should be ignored. When they pop up again like a dodgy cookie, they should be countered again and ignored again.
You have hit the nail on the head regarding ISP's. Without a dodgy ISP to 'procure' for them, Phorm is nothing. To their credit, many of the more reputable ISP's have shown them the door, but unfortunately VM have very little reputation to protect.
They must have hoped this would go in 'under the radar' and they were clearly wrong. Their silence discredits them even more and it is a faulty strategy, as clearly the campaign against will continue to grow and become more mainstream. It won't go away.
Are they furiously changing their plans (webwise dropped the VM logo) or do they have a lot to hide (undisclosed trials perhaps)? Is project coaxial more than just a rumour and has Phorm become an acute embarresment?
The continued silence will only lead to more speculation.
