I think a few ISPs will remain opposed to exploiting their customers in this way. There is clearly a market for a Phorm free ISP, and they may well be able to charge a premium for providing it above and beyond any income they could hope to derive from phorming.
The trouble is, if Phorm is deemed a success and the Phorm Three all go ahead, then there will be much less competition for the custom of those of us who object to phorming and probably no large non-phorming ISPs, so we can expect to pay a fair bit more.
Worse still the ISP market in the UK is consolidating, an ISP that is vehermently anti-phorm today, could be bought out by a phorming ISP tomorrow, so no-one is really safe from phorming until the practice is outlawed.
