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.  |
I've seen quite a few different versions of this BT statement, and never yet seen a form of words that unambiguously indicates that a not-opted-in customer who wants nothing to do with Webwise, will have their traffic completely ignored by the newly installed DPI kit, and neither intercepted, nor inspected by the newly installed DPI kit.
In otherwords- for their traffic to be simply "conducted" by the conduit of BT Retail, to it's destination with no other interference whatsover except what is required for the purpose of technically managing the service (and NOT selling adverts).
Nor have I seen any explanation of how their cookie free system will work.
As always - its what they don't say that counts.
Once I've had the time to read it through properly and do the necessary copying, cutting and pasting when the hard copy arrives, Ill give an account of what the BT Retail legal counsel's letter to me DIDN'T say.
