I wonder if the reason they have not done as much is because if they are the ISP they can't blame someone else like they can if they are partnered with BT/VM/TT.

Or why doesn't BT develop the technology themselves?
They could do it if they had the onions. Not so long ago they used to be a global teleco, before some very bad management decisions turned them into a fairly big national telco. Even now Phorm is a pipsqueek compared to BT.
The doubt over ownership of data helps these seedy organisations baffle the regulators (or voters if you think there may be a 'security interest' channel that Kent is offering GCHQ).
Phorm's a con. Kent set it up to be sold to the likes of Google, so Kent can run on to his next 'project' with his big 'profit'.
Only Google's not playing ball. Either way, BT are the suckers.
VM won't be forgotten either.
