Jackson - you can opt out of Phorm too, and in a way that seems so far to be agreeable to the regulators.
You will no doubt choose to disagree, but your vote doesn't really count if the regulators decide otherwise.

Sure you can all make up valid arguments about which 3 nanoseconds Phorm appears to be breaking some rule or other, but the authorities will not wish to stand in the way of commercial progress just to comply with some part of a rule or law that was not intended to cover the way Phorm is operating, but has just been used to try and object to Phorm.

That is the nub of my argument - sure you may be able to find a law and try and attach it to what Phorm does, but if it wasn't intended to catch the sort of thing Phorm does, then the authorities will not bother applying it.
