121Media Inc

121Media, Inc. ("121Media" or the "Company")
Trading update
<snip>
So does that mean that 121media as it was, phorm as it is now was let
loose on the BT network with no contract in place for the trials?
So basically with there being no way to know who was on the trial according to BT, they let an outside company loose on the network and put the private data of everybody at risk?

its Interesting in that it was infact in May 2007 then "121Media Inc", so the BT due diligence if it infact took place, was under that companies name, and we all know what that turns up, rootkit anyone, US court battles etc.

CIPPIC Comments on FTC Proposal on Consumer Tracking Adverts

The Phorm storm may be taking place far away, but few are aware of a similar storm brewing in the United States. Should advertising have the ability to track online users? The FTC seems skeptical about the proposition.
A recent posting on the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic official website
says that they passed along comments to the Federal Trade Commission regarding behavioral tracking advertisements which push targeted advertisements to various users.
The FTC had a
proposal (PDF) on the issue saying, among other things:
.....
The FTC then proposed the following principles:
Transparency and consumer control
Reasonable security, and limited data retention, for consumer data
Affirmative express consent for material changes to existing privacy promises
Affirmative express consent to (or prohibition against) using sensitive data for
behavioral advertising
Call for additional information: Using tracking data for purposes other than
behavioral advertising....

Alexander, notice how they finally got around to talking about planting a cookie 2 days ago.
and still mostly missed the current BT graphic about storeing and reading a cookie if you say no in this upcoming BT DPI trial, how come we can find these things but they, we assume are on the ball, mostly miss it?
are we going to have to do a bank charges style CAG on this ISP/Phorm thing and just bring lots of small claims using the online forms or an N1 from the local county court and peck them to death i wonder?.
