PECR states certain provisions relating to the processing of traffic data under regulation 7:-
Regulation 8 (2) Processing of traffic data in accordance with regulation 7 shall be restricted to what is required for the purposes of one or more of the activities listed in paragraph (3) and shall be carried out only by the public communications provider or by a person acting under his authority.
(3) The activities referred to in paragraph (2) are activities relating to -
(a) the management of billing or traffic;
(b) customer enquiries;
(c) the prevention or detection of fraud;
(d) the marketing of electronic communications services; or
(e) the provision of a value added service.
A,B,C,and D don't apply to webwise, so you see, some form of 'value added service' had to be stuck on to attempt to comply with PECR
That is why the 'anti-phishing' is being pushed so much.

Nooo, even then it does not comply with PECR. Firstly 3e does not remove the requirement of explicit informed consent. Secondly WebWise is a completely seperate entity to the OIX platform, so even if they managed to palm off some value added service for WebWise (the anti-phishing) it -still- doesn't cover them for the behavioural profiling for OIX which has nothing to do with the Anti-Phishing and is purely a commercial venture based around advertising.
Why are so many people seeming to try and make excuses for Phorm/BT today? We need to stop second guessing ourselves here folks otherwise any new readers are going to think there is some doubt over whether or not it is illegal, let me make it very clear there is no doubt whatsoever that without consent this technology is ILLEGAL. Myself and other more qualified experts have very thoroughly analysed the law on these issues months ago and there are no grey areas.
