I was surprised to find out that he is 'Chief Security Technology Officer' of BT. I wrote him an email, before I knew this fact and asked why he hadn't written any articles about Phorm. He replied that the technology was 'not particularly interesting'.
Technically, this may be true. However, he also writes about all sorts of stuff relating to the intersection of technology and privacy and social issues - which is why I was all the more surprised at the time.
In light of the new information, I wouldn't be surprised if his reticence has anything to do with his position. Though this is mere speculation on my part. |
I also wrote to him and have received no reply whatsoever. But to be honest I didn't expect one.

People really need to keep up I am getting a bit fed up with repeating this every 4-7 days.
Simon Davies is out of the country on UN business and has been for several weeks and will be for several more weeks. Then he is back for a short time before being out of the country for another month.
He has assured me he will try and complete the PIA during his very limited time back in the UK.
However, as I have said several times now, it doesn't really matter when the PIA is completed it is very unlikely Phorm will be publishing it for public release.

It took a while to find, as all the quotes of the quote were about "we can see the WHOLE internet" which is a misquote.
Worth resurrecting that quote, as I don't think it is the sort of thing Phorm want us to remember (unless they are trying to sell OIX spaces). |
You could have just asked me, my dissertation has 3 pages of references and that is one of them
In fact the references section of my dissertation might be very useful for people who have just joined the debate or others who want to go back over some of the earlier info which appeared on the web, anyone is still welcome to download the dissertation it is available from the NoDPI web site.
