I also agree with John. Simon, you
do seem to be treating Phorm as a minor matter which puzzles me immensely considering you were the man who said about Google.Doubleclick on the PI site here:

"This single reprehensible action by the Commission represents this decade's greatest threat to online privacy. The EU will rue the day that it allowed a near monopoly market to be controlled by this company. Online privacy will now be a hostage to fortune, inevitably suffering death from a thousand cuts".

How can you say what you said above, while (seeming to be) treating Phorm as a minor matter?
