I would like a couple of technical questions asked by anyone going.

1. Will the device in such place have an impact on latency on the network due to extra packets been sent back.

2. Will there be any sort of technical support paid for by phorm for the isp's involved if there device affects the network as you give the device to the isp's as a gift so the device then belongs to the isp so they can get around the privacy bit by altering T&C accordingly.

3. how does the device match up your ip with an random number is this not associated profilling which makes the whole anonymous question a blatent lie as in that randomly generated number gets associated with X customers ip address.

4. Where does this collected data get sent for profiling (which also means where does the whole process go from start to finish everyone involved in looking at it and any backups the device stores or makes)?

5. have phorm any plans to expand the spyware device (once its green lighted) into doing more than just serving ads in the future.
