There is a separate debate to be had about individual freedoms v national security. In fact MI5 or whoever wouldn't need something as sophisticated as phorm to spy on your data stream.

I agree with this comment. I have nothing to hide but I certainly don't wish to be wire-tapped for the financial gain of others. This Phorm technology is an absolute disgrace and any ISP's who are examining this as an option must want their heads seeing to! Do they honestly think the outrage will go away once it was in place if they were to go ahead?
I honestly think it could put some ISP's out of business when they eventually have to respond to market forces (or the lack of them due to migration) and rip out all their expensive equipment and get out of all their expensive contracts.
Perhaps Kent can't lose. Either we pay up or the ISP's will in the end.
Then again, if Kent and the ISP executives were to be in Prison due to breaking certain laws, perhaps they could settle up with each other during a few card games to pass the time of day as they serve out their time.
