Another BT customer, I concur wholly with Robert's points. This is very powerful technology, and is capable of far more than BT has admitted. They claim that our PII and private data is safe in their hands, and that phorm/Webwise is fit for purpose. It is not, and I am very disturbed that BT has demonstrated that they are incapable of controlling the technology. Cookies have leaked, PII has leaked, and they have negligently failed to consider many aspects of implementing the scheme. If they were really on top of the system, had done thorough research, and were fully confident to be implementing the scheme they would be able to answer the many questions that customers have been asking, but, as Robert says, significant fundamental questions remain unanswered, while BT desperately claws at the sides of the deep pit in which they find themselves.

I wholly agree.
