Hey Alex

Im confused as to the legal ramifications towards communications providers when they clearly state in their terms and conditions of service that this type of action they can justify.

For example....

Virgin Media T&C's

Section B, Category 3, Sub Section ii

"We reserve the right to monitor and control data volume and/or types of traffic transmitted via the interactive services on your Virgin TV and/or Internet access."

Now its to early in the morning to go trawling through BT's T&C's but I'm sure they will have a similair outlook.

Does this stance within their highlighted T&C's provide adequate privelages to trial products and services without notice over their own network where they deem them to have a beneficial advantage to their customers?

Now dont get me wrong, I'm no Phorm fanboy by a long shot, but I am worried that any sort of action being raised against any ISP will lead to the same outcome... "It's part of our T&C's"

Thoughts?
