Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't that one of the prime concerns when Phorm first appeared inviting all and sundry to inspect their code which could easily be replaced with something completely different on the first patch / update! And so here we have a similar system running live where whatever was hammered out during lengthy negotiations prior to deployment suddenly doesn't mean Jack any more!
Is that scary or am I just reading to much into it...

for those of us who are BT customers, the parallels are eerily close. almost EVERY element of that story has AREADY happened in the BT/Phorm relationship. secret implementation - cookies dropped and browser hijacking - ignorance by support - denials by ISP staff - admission by ISP staff - excuses and buck passing.
