Buying to try and keep the share price above a certain point? The more places that hear about the latest Phorm/BT revelations the better - I'd hope it would really hit the share price.

I have to say that the BBC have been off my list of news sources since their initial article (not that they have written much since). It was simply a cut and paste of Phorm PR and said basically "nothing to see here move along". How wrong can an organisation the size of the BBC be? Darren Waters "Technology editor, BBC News website" should publicly apologise.

In wartime Mr Waters might well have been accused of being a collaborator. Their initial article was a disgrace and unworthy of being called journalism.
Journalism is what The Register is doing on this issue. "Protest group issue". Not now it isn't.
[Edit] A mate of mine just posted to the BBC via their newswatch section. With a little input from the Captain
"Why hasn't the BBC Technology pages given more coverage to the issues surrounding the proposed tie up between 3 of the UK's major ISPs and Phorm, a company with a questionable product and a questionable past?
I suggest that a few blog posts and copying chunks of Phorm's PR statements here and there do not qualify as proper investigative journalism. You will be aware that there is a growing backlash against Phorm particularly because in the eyes of many Phorm's "product" breaches the Data Protection Act and the RIPA legislation as well.
The Guardian newspaper recently rejected Phorm saying that it doesn't fit with the values of their business. I saw no mention of that on your website. Surely BBC News holds values similar to The Guardian and takes them as seriously?
Today The Register has revealed that "BT secretly intercepted and profiled the web browsing of 18,000 of its broadband customers in 2006 using advertising technology provided by 121Media, the alleged spyware company that changed its name to Phorm last year."
That means that 18,000 customers had their web browsing data passed to Phorm without their consent. That is illegal wiretapping.
Please tell me how that story is not newsworthy?
Surely BBC News has a remit to educate and inform. 18,000 people have been illegally wiretapped. Surely that's a story woth pursuing?
It's not just a protest group issue. It's about the routine wiretapping of internet users. Something one might only have expected in a dictatorship."
