I see Tiscali are beginning legal proceedings against BT.

The BBC Web site is saying

"Tiscali has begun legal proceedings against BT after the telco sent letters to its customers hoping to persuade them to swap to BT's broadband service."

and then later on the quote:

"Some privacy experts have questioned how BT got hold of customer details but BT insisted that it used "reputable external sources". "
is mentioned by the BBC.

This is the problem how I see it.

If Phorm/WebWise came into being. Would this be one of the reputable external sources as well? Who monitors the interceptors. Where would be the accountability.

Maybe even now, some other ISP's may be thinking, BT don't play fair.
