The issue you raise is an excellent one and one that I have not seen Phorm/BT/VM deal with at all. I know its been mentioned here many times over the last few months.

Of course it would be easy for Phorm/BT/VM/ to make webwise an account level opt in. You login to your ISP account and switch it on there but we all know that isn't going to happen as it would cripple Phorms business model which is predicated on opt-out and the masses being too lazy or uninPhormed to care.
