It beggars belief.

Phorm have made vague PR respones making references to a future independent examination of their source code, but so far it hasn't been examined, and they have not been specific as to how it might be audited, who would do that, and how often it would be done (like after EVERY single update?). The gap between the patent application's technical possibilities and what they say they are actually doing with UK applications of Webwise is quite wide, so I feel regular independent monitoring of the actual software source code and its operation is vital. speaking just as a non-IT person, merely an ISP customer.
BT have insisted the Webwise servers would be within their network and on their premises, and owned or at least leased by them, but the current BT Webwise site is NOT within the BT network and does not bear BT IP addresses. And BT have never claimed they would have control over, or access to the Phorm software, nor do they claim to have examined the source code.
So I agree - it beggars belief.
