Granted, the document is dated March 2008, and Virgin publicly announced that it had not agreed to deploy or adopt the system on May 1st. But the fact is this company is gaining funding on false claims.

After what Virgin Media has subsequently said regarding their relationship with Phorm according to reports over the last month or two, I think either Virgin Media or Phorm have been possibly somewhat economical with the truth.
If I was a self respecting ISP owner and considering all the outrage against Phorm by ISP customers, I would go out of my way to ensure anything quoted about my company's current relationship with Phorm, was correct, even if I was considering dealing with Phorm in the future.
Something smells fishy IMHO and has done so for quite some time. Virgin Media seem happy to leave hard evidence by Phorm about their relationship, open on the table.
