Conspiracy theory...
The home Office want ISP's to monitor web-traffic 'in the interests of security'. However the ISP's say they can't or won't do this.
Phorm technology can monitor
all web traffic.
Phorm joins up with ISP's and give a cash incentive to the ISP's for the interception of their customers.
The Home Office gets what they want, the ISP gets a cash boost, Phorm makes a tidy profit.
Everyone is happy... well everyone except Joe Public. (Are you still with us Joe?)
Could this be why the ICO and Home Office are refusing to step on BT's toes?
Still think all this Phorm nonsense is just about targeted advertising??
