Ever noticed how BT do not know which IP addresses were used in the trial? - completely anonymous to BT and all their staff.

Phorm counted them all in, and out again, in the report on the 2006 trial success. They even counted the domains and individual http requests. No PII here, just a cookie with an UID - move along please.

The PII was being processed by a script hosted on the user's own computer ... so nothing to block https .... No wonder they had to rewrite the scripts.
