Which reminds me I must make this version of Dephormation available more widely, it logs all the redirects etc without needing a proxy, if anyone's interested in a copy.

Charter looks a lot like BTs original Phorm opt out (but doesn't refer to the Webwise domain). I don't think its Phorm, but it looks similar client side.
It isn't Phorm, it is NebuAd:

Charter is partnering with a company called NebuAD to build profiles of its users. NebuAD will share the behavioral tracking results with third-party advertising networks like DoubleClick. Users can opt out of the system, but have to give their full name and address to get an opt-out cookie. The process would have to be repeated for every browser on every computer in a home to block the service, and would have to be reset if cookies are ever deleted.
