They want to interview families who have this combination at their homes for an hour, (for which they are willing to pay £50);
So using BT's own metrics then
1 hour betraying my privacy = £50.
Where as Phorm want to study my habits for the rest of my natural life. At those rates, I reckon they should cough up
30 years (fingers crossed, E&OE) x £50 = £13,140,000
If you think of all those hours of 'privacy value' you retain, I think you'd have to agree you make the right choice if you avoid Phorm
