[Green Disease]

Something I didn't mention earlier I'd like to thank the people who are trying to bring the ISP's to book. Every IT site I seem to read these days seems to mention the illegal trials.

Dephormation, I know where you are coming from regarding cancelling VM. I have looked into switching providers, something I would have never even thought of doing until I found out about Webwise. I'm quite some distance away from the exchange, plus would mean paying to have a BT line installed, although I believe that they are running an offer atm. There are other costs involved, in moving the other services. I'll do what VM are doing and sit on the fence for the time being.

I have read most of the details that have surfaced in regards to the BT trials and the Webwise system. Some of it regarding the technical analysis does go over my head a bit, but get the gist of most of it.

I am going back over stuff that I remember reading on this thread and elsewhere. Has anyone contacted/had any replies back from Google, in regards to BT/Phorm using the Googlebot to determine whether they are allowed to profile sites? Whether they are thinking of doing what Phorm are doing?

It would be interesting if Google were to take action against BT/Phorm and block all BT's IP's, if they were to ever do another trial? It would be fun to see the BT execs and Kent's face, as he always seems happy, to want to chuck mud at Google.(Not saying Google are much better, at least I have a choice in whether to use Google or not, without having to switch ISP's).
