The Gadget Show was a bit silly at the beginning, but the presenter was passionate, and the message was the clearest that I've seen i.e. simple concepts such as the equivalent of phone wire-tapping and that you pay the ISP for a connection to the internet and that your ISP should not be selling your surfing habits.

I was disappointed with the BBC 24 and BBC news web site coverage, it felt distant and as if the BBC felt it had to cover the story but didn't really see anything wrong with Phorm. The Click! presenter emphasised the word "some", when introducing the segment and saying "some" people had issues with Phorm - the emphasis made me think that the BBC were saying "some" as in these are loony people that the BBC are distancing themselves from.
