I couldn't agree more. In fact, the focus has been on Phorm and 80/20T for so long, it almost appears distraction tactics. Time to get MP's to put the pressure onto ISP's who could be, but are NOT yet, the real villains if deployment goes ahead. Hopefully, Labour MP's in particular will be receptive to their constituents in view of their recent trouncing at the ballot box.

This venture will go absolutely nowhere unless and until the ISP's participate so forget about the tail and aim for the head. Besides, the thread has reached a plateau and we're not moving forwards, all we are doing is chewing the fat.
