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.

Sorry Peter, I was not trying to say they would all lose money directly, but with the inPhormed publicity that Phorm would love people to avoid, any gains may not outweigh the bad press and risks involved.
Businesses like to have good costings. Because of the nature of WebWise, copyright issues and the inherent risk to privacy outlined in many references to academic papers and similar within this thread and others, there may well be a lot of unknown negative costings to consider for an ISP thinking of adopting WebWise (or similar). Some of these issues are still being discovered. This apart from any current legality issues.

There are two fights as I see it. Public awareness and political awareness. Both are important IMHO.
