We (as PI) held off on commenting about Phorm (beyond saying that it should be opt in) and will continue to hold off until we understand the complete operating environment. Once the PIA is in the public domain PI can join other organisations in expressing a full and frank opinion.

OC you already know that the reason your PIA has run past the April deadline you set is because that so called "the complete operating environment" keeps changing as we chat right here right now....
will it infact ever be seen as "the complete Operating Environment" that can be accurate for any long term assessment.
given your involvement in the short term lifecycle of 121/Phorm in the UK, it appears they have changed the phorm OE in several ways in just this short time scale.
sure we understand the PIA is there to help that evolving process, but the idea is you compleate your PIA, THEN they change the product for the better.
changeing the webwise product while you havent even got the final report out yet, or todays changed dataset and implimentation from the ISPs, how are you to be sure your report hasnt been made obsolete by next month or even week?.
dont you find it strange with your 8020 hat on , your being made to chase the webwise tail round and round, were you could have been using your PI hat, and cutting off the head, or at least getting the choke stick out and making the Phorm rabid dog far more managable...
