Thats an indication of just how secret this has been within BT, keeping it from people who would instantly recognise it for what it was.

As an ex BT man myself I know that what you say is true insomuch as BT do have teams of real experts in various fields.
It is for that reason that the likes of the ICO I guess instead of correctly checking claims, just take BT's word that they are doing all things legally, correctly and by the book. After all they have their own experts
If what you state is true and I have little reason to doubt it, with this in mind it is even more important for a full investigation to take place by the police. If the correct experts within BT were not even consulted on this matter, it smacks to me of something untoward and fishy. There may be even more involved than what we imagine.
On a side note:
I must say I like the diagrams shown on here over this weekend. A picture tells a thousand words. Hope we see many more of them.
For any newcomers, here is a link that has already been mentioned previously which I think portrays a good example of where the overall privacy (none privacy) issues are going. I leave it to your imagination what data could be sold by Phorm (ex 121Media) to third parties as a result of their snooping.
