Well; like DPI, it's another intrusion, and there are other points of similarity with Phorm: unwanted advertising, the lack of an opt-in choice (unless you count shutting your eyes and sticking your fingers in your ears, which has H&S implications), and no doubt there will be CCTV cameras attached to (or near) the screens to record any attempts to smash the wretched things. I was intrigued (and heartened) by Simon Davies/Privacy International's condemnation of them, Simon being an expert on public CCTV.

Apart from anything else, the sheer lack of taste is staggering, as is the arrogance in thinking we're all interested in sport.
