Not quite the same but his position may be similar to that of of Simon (80/20) of Privacy international. Do you bite the hand that feeds you or do you keep a clear conscience. Maybe we should ask the guy? Another interesting essay "Why "Anonymous" Data Sometimes Isn't" http://www.schneier.com/essay-200.html.
I've emailed him to ask his views on the security implications of DPI being used for targetted advertising and mentioned NebuAd - particularly with respect to the security of personal identifiers within the system. I haven't mentioned Phorm. As he lives in the USA (California) he will be aware of NebuAd. I mentioned that Steve Gibson was podcasting on the subject as well.
