Indeed Florence.
Well, I got a reply from Patricia Hewitt today. It must be difficult being an MP and on the Board of BT (or it might not be, given the renumeration for it?!)
Anyway, she did not have to reply as I am not in her constituency, but unfortunately when she "Checked the position with BT" they just gave her the standard lines to trip out to me:
1. Contrary to what we all believe, no personal data involved in the secret trial interceptions, no customers identified, no data kept and no law broken (we disagree I think!)
2. The extensive customer research where more than half want phorm... (or something like that based on the questions that were asked by BT's market research which we all know will have been using questions that did not include words like "ISP spy on you", "Phorm Adware/Spyware/Rootkit stealth technology" etc!
Congrats Alexander on the response from the Earl Of Northesk. We still wait to see the answer to his written question eh? Wonder if they government will get around to answering that before he gets back here.
On the question of public vs private forum... please do keep updating this place here. It's good to see the size of the opposition to the Phorm system proposed. If too much of it goes into a private forum we might lose some momentum.
All the best to Alexander for the BBC Click recording
