I think you've taken my posts the wrong way.

I was only trying to advise non-BT/VM/CPW customers that they need to get involved now before it's too late and all ISPs start using DPI to boost their income.

I'm not sure that saying that the ISPs will lose money is realistic - if it is then why are we bothering fighting them when they will either srop DPI or go bust? What I do know is that we have to fight Phorm and any other similar system based on what we know - it's intrusive, unregulated and just around the corner.

We don't want to send the wrong message to forum vistors - this system will be online this year unless we actively fight it right now. Even if Phorm's business model is flawed it still leaves the door wide open for other companies with equally despicable pieces of spyware to come along until one has the PR or presentation to make it financially viable.

We can't leave this open - we need to push and push until we get legislation that will prevent any such system from ever being used by ISPs. Combatting Phorm and the three big ISPs is only a battle - there's a whole war needs fighting if we don't want to see these systems or have this same struggle every six months from now on.
