This is how I understand it happened and makes perfect sense as Phorm have such an arrogance that their system is legal it beggars belief. Regardless whether they try and put the interception mechanism in the control of the ISP or not it is still breaking the law and they are complicit.
Just to comment on Simon Watkin's reply - he clarified that the HO believe a system could be made that is within the law which is something I've said before. Unfortunately they do not seem to know how Phorm's system works and also seem a little reluctant to find out, why? We know it doesn't work within the law and that no system that did would be commercially viable - Phorm need lots of users which a truly informed opt-in system would not get them.
HO need to investigate this issue, they cannot take Phorm's or BT's word for it.
