The BT answer to question 11 - staggers belief. The BT customers selected to join the trial, will be forced through the Webwise/Phorm Layer 7 equipment even if they have not consented to being in the trial. Because there is no independant opt-in system yet.
I am not sure that I believe BT when they say they will be working on an opt-in system that will be independant of the Webwise/Phorm DPI layer 7 equipment. |
I don't believe the system will ever be Opt-in it was only ever designed to be opt-out, deployed and run as covertly as possible. An Opt-in version would run at a loss from day 1.
I'm not certain but to work around many of the illegal aspects the system could be deployed in its "trial" format warts and all if it was offered as a feature of BT Broadband and written into a contract for new users signing up for a BT Retail service. This contract will not be available to existing customers because there is no Opt-in and there never will be.
Then over a matter of a few years all those on "old" contracts could be persuaded to leave the service - Tiscali do just that to holders of old Pipex contracts which allow undesirable perks such as freedom from capping etc (I was one of them)!
