I don't think this has been mentioned on here yet (thanks to madslug on BadPhorm forums for spotting it):

Change to webwise FAQ http://www.webwise.com/how-it-works/faq.html

"What about FIPR's analysis of the legality and RIPA?

We don't agree with FIPR's analysis. And its description of the Phorm system is inaccurate. Our technology complies with the Data Protection Act, RIPA and other applicable UK laws. We've sought our own legal opinions as well as consulted widely with experts such as Ernst & Young, 80/20 Thinking, the Home Office, Ofcom and the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). We discussed our system with the ICO prior to launching it and continue to be in dialogue with the organisation."

I find it rich that they accuse FIPR of inaccurately describing the phorm system, in the light of phorms own inaccurate description of the system to Richard Clayton. I think it is an indication of how BT will try to discredit opponents of phorm/webwise.
