Today, there may be. I’m sure, in ten years’ time, we’ll look back and wonder what all the fuss was about. The introduction of large-scale video services is currently outpacing improvements in ISPs’ network hardware. The networks will catch up. The suggested income per subscriber per month isn’t that high – nowhere near enough to make much of a dent in new infrastructure costs. When the hardware has caught up, we’ll still be left with ISP-level behavioural targeting. Only, just as every other technology will have moved on, so will behavioural targeting. We won’t be stuck with Phorm, but son of Phorm – something far, far more intrusive than what’s initially planned and possibly even more intrusive than you’re currently able to imagine.
