Some conclusions then;

ICO have comprehensively failed to understand Phorm, or demonstrate independent regulation
ICO have not adequately investigated the trials of 2006, and particularly 2007
ICO have not sought any technical data from BT during the investigation
ICO have not sought independent industry expertise
European Commissioners have similarly been fooled into believing Phorm, effectively mass communication interception, was some kind of privacy enhancing technology
Simon Watkin of the Home Office has been engaged with Phorm for 'some time' prior to January 2008
BT have tried to pull the wool over the Information Commissioners, paying lip service to requests for information

Idiots all of them.

And we need to redouble the effort to get the message over.

I'm told Derek Wyatt MP is interested in Phorm.
