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 )
Well I have made it very clear in the article that DPI can be used for lots of things. The point is, because of that there needs to be transparency, not only from BT (whom I have contacted for further information) but also from the ISPs using WBMC.

ISPs reselling BT Wholesale products should be completely transparent and make sure they have information on 3rd party services, particularly how DPI is being used, available on their web sites.

Since ICO and the Home Office appear to be refusing to offer any form of oversight on these issues, it is up to us to do it instead.

I will also be sending an official complaint to the ISPA this week as I feel BT (a member) have broken section 2.21 and 2.4 of the ISPA Code of Conduct (at the very least) with their trials in 2006/2007.

I will post a letter template on NoDPI once I have finished it and I would recommend as many people as possible send a complaint to the ISPA (either with my template or their own) at the earliest opportunity.
