>Over and above this, we are also taking reasonable steps to exclude specific websites from profiling upon specific request from the website owner. As per my previous email, if you provide me with the domain name for your website (and confirmation of ownership) then we will ensure that it is excluded from profiling within Webwise. I can assure you that we have taken advice and believe our approach is both entirely reasonable and complies with relevant legislation. I am not able to share that advice with you in detail and, and as noted in my previous email, I am not able to provide you with BT's IP address ranges.

Once/if Webwise spyware is ever implemented, requests for web pages from BT 'customers' will come from the Phorm proxy. This will reveal the IP range of the proxy machines making the requests. We should then be able to block BT IP ranges.

Speaking of which, is there any other way we could get this information? (IP range assignment)
