Yes. I agree there needs to be something catchy and I like the ISPy part.

I thought about just saying to people "Phorm is coming" and when they asked what I was on about, telling them to Google it. But they would put in "Form".

I think it needs to be something that points to "webwise", because I think lots of people are starting to at least become aware of Phorm, but it's Webwise they will be conned into.

How about "ISPy with my little eye..." something beginning with W.

Just for a start, I'm sure someone else can do better. Maybe it needs to be incorporated into a graphic.

Remember "Bad Wolf" on Dr Who or "Tell Sid" for another generation?

Anyone remember if there was a catchphrase when BT was privatised?

This is interesting

It explains all the hype in the early 80's regarding the privatisation of BT.

I wonder what all the Old Tories who drove this through would think of Phorm/Webwise?

It might be worth finding contacts for people like Kenneth Clarke, Norman Lamont, Norman Tebbit, "The bloke who had an affair with his secretary and I can't remember his name", and, of course, what does Maggie think?
