I'm pretty sure that unless the ISP's implement the system as in informed opt-in and then place those users in a different IP range to be routed through a separate network from the general traffic ( which of course will be most people. I have every faith that even the most clueless of internet users, given the opportunity to sign up for a system that gives them adverts, more or less relevant will simply say no. Even if the ISP plays on the fears of users about security, many are wiser than they were in this area and already know that they have 'something' in place doing that job ) then we will be unable to avoid being profiled by the DPI equipment even if no data is passed to Phorm. That still boils down to interception and IANAL but it still looks illegal to me.
