Whilst I'm all for giving BT enough rope to hang themselves with, this might not be related to Phorm. I'd be very interested to hear Emma's response to this development. It certainly isn't a blatant advert for ad-serving though is it?
For instance, I'm aware that there have been traffic-shaping units within the BT network for years, but the one I know about was configured for pass-through during my tenure! (20k's worth of kit acting as a transparent bridge
