What that does not specifically state, is whether the data still passes through the intercept, provided by Phorm and sited in BT's racks. As Phorm 'gift' the hardware to BT(Retail), they can quite truthfully say that the data is not 'passed to Phorm or any other partner'. I can't see how they can manage to bypass the intercept without the facility to allocate IPs and reroute subscribers who don't opt-in, based on their IP address, but I'm not an IT expert or a BT executive.
