Someone, somewhere, is desperate to shore up Phorm's share price.

I can't help but wonder if there is a PR feint going on here, to test and measure public resistance (they've done this a few times over the last few months).

Personally I still think, the signs are not there for this week. BT haven't published anything in their own name. The webwise kit is in the 'wrong' hands if anonymity is going to be assured by anyone. EC Commission is on their backs on Friday.

Be prepared by all means (I am, I left my Phorm infected ISP), but watch out for the PR strategy at work too.
