It seems blummin strange to have a hearing, but not publish the location, and not invite key opinion sources like FIPR for example (who are apparently unaware and uninvited).
I wonder if Privacy International or 80/20 are attending. Wonder which hat they will wear. Bowler hat. Top Hat. Clown hat. If you want to get ahead, get a hat.

did you find out that info Pete?,
did the FIPR say they didnt know about it, and are still uninvited?.....
i cant see anything about it on the FIPR site,
or the
http://www.openrightsgroup.org/ for that matter.
perhaps some of the Lords were asked to attend this meeting.

"1. "Absolutely on track" at Phorm's end - reflecting the public 'heat', and understandably, ISPs are taking additional time to
make sure they don't screw up - re: security and legality issues.
2. BT expected to launch "probably" within a week... or a few days thereafter.
3. Feeling pretty good on the recent PR trends in favour of Phorm - a positive editorial in last week's Economist, and earlier in the FT, plus
a supportive speech in the House of Lords, plus
recent supportive conversations with the Information Commissioner. And,
a reduction in frequency of anti-Phorm blogging activity.
4.
Kent expects the vocal minority to continue to become less and less vocal, and even more so once full service is launched.
5. As we assumed/understood, BT will launch first, with a press release accompanying the first 'interstitial notice' - i.e. the screen that pops up telling you that the system is on, and giving the option to opt out. Full roll-out across its customer base will be in a matter of days or weeks, but not longer. Virgin Media and TalkTalk are in full pre-launch preparation mode.
6. Once BT has launched, other announcements for other countries are expected. Country CEOs being recruited.
7. Publishers still totally on board - including the Guardian (whose journalist has been particularly vocal).
Conclusion:
At last, positive newsflow does seem to be in the pipeline. We reiterate our Buy recommedation."
