The NoDPI Poll shows 89% of participants feel BT should be prosecuted for the covert trials.

Finally the poll which appeared yesterday (I forget the URL) showed 65% of people would leave their ISP.

BT -claim- their own poll goes against these figures, but since they refuse to make it available, we only have their word on that.
Emma Sanderson has said in emails to me - no we won't publish the research (but that doesn't mean we couldn't decide to do so in the future)

Gavin Patterson (I think it was him) said at the AGM yesterday, they have so far not published the research - but we might consider doing so.

Please DO publish it BT. We'd love to see it - questions, answers, and the numbers and methodology. No selective quoting. It's called "Premium Browsing: Research Findings" in case you've lost the file or the computers are down again.
(I think Premium Browsing is browsing with Phorm spying on you and exploiting the web sites you visit and making shedloads of money out of your private data exchanges - sounds like rubbish browsing to me, but I'm not in advertising)

If you just scroll up about three or four inches, depending on monitor resolution, then you can see the absolute figures for that poll - it's the one Cableforum did themselves - 958 to 45, poll now closed.
