This proposal is fundamentally immoral ... ...
... should you deploy Phorm I will move my broadband, television and telephone services to other providers.
This is regardless of any "opt in" or "opt out" arrangements which might be agreed – any partnership with Phorm is unacceptable."
According to the representative, Virgin Media is still considering working with Phorm, though the decision is some way off.

well thats good to know Portly , given your returned call (almost never happens two times)it appears that some higher up personel (perhaps a UK executive?, if not the real deal US board member stepping in and giving direct orders) are infact monitoring the chat here about mass DPA notices, Injunctions against the CEO/COO and other named personel etc, and the willingness to file criminal charges....
theres nothing like seeing your name being mentioned in relation to (mass?)legal Injunctions (ASBO's for the high flying company boys and girls
) to give them far more focus, i imagine.
deep packet inspection
is also a good thing to keep mentioning here, there and on the phone, along with what it does, and how it works to spy on all the data passing through it etc.
