I was talking to a friend today who I know frequents el Reg and he runs several websites so I asked him if he'd read about Phorm but he'd only seen the headlines so knew nothing about them. His reasoning for not reading was a lack of time (like most of us) and it wasn't about the ISP's he deals with, fair enough. I told him about Phorm and he was shocked, "I don't won't them near my sites" he said "glad I'm not with those ISP's either". He couldn't believe the ISP's would get into bed with a company using that system, "they must be stupid".
What this showed me is that the word has to be put out to people, let them know what's happening, even if they are competent techies they might not have seen this coming for being too busy...and hope we're not too late.
So in the morning I'll go through my address book then off to other forums I frequent. But first I need some sleep
