Enjoy??? Are you joking? This is a scandal and a half you've uncovered here; WTG Alex.

Story dugg as requested.

btw. First thing I spotted in the report was this:

Normally the PageSense system deploys cookies directly to user's machines. BT's broadband terms and conditions prevented this approach. Instead 121Media conducted an initial cookie drop exercise. For two-weeks prior to the trial proper 121Media purchased advertising space on popular third-party websites from which cookies were dropped directly onto users machines.
They did this to get around legal T&Cs?

Is it just me, or does that just stink?
