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.

Julian, I think big screens in city centres are definitely off topic for this thread, and would be best dealt with in a separate thread if you and others want to pursue it. I just can't see how discussing that, is going to help us move forward on the topic of Phorm/Webwise/targetted behavioural advertising/deep packet inspection/interception of internet traffic.
That's just my personal opinion. No personal criticism intended.
