Another week about to start and still no sign of the BT Webwise trial.

The Downing St petition is rapidly approach the 16,000 mark. That's amazing considering how long this has been going on and it shows that this issue is not fading from people's minds despite the best efforts of Phorm and the ISPs to wait it out.

Despite the silent-running technique, Phorm is getting more coverage than ever - all of it bad - thanks to the American press. News articles regarding the DPI scandals in America frequently cover the similarities between the likes of NebuAd and Phorm. Typing Phorm into a Google News search tonight recorded over 400 hits from the past few days. This level of coverage makes it even less believable that anyone in authority or working for BT could possibly not be familiar with the issues raised.

What is good about the American coverage is that every article describes the opposition to the system and many mentioned the protest at the AGM. It's pretty sad though that the British press is still refusing to cover the story.

Expect to see Phorm's shares plummet again on their failure to deliver the trials - they may even set a new all-time low. If there are any shareholder hanging around the forum, this might be your last chance to walk away before you lose the whole lot.
