Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
Let bt, virgin or whoever roll phorm/webwise out now if they have that much confidence in it then, see if net users are just sheep as so many think they are.
Dont let anyone that trolls about share prices or how advertising needs to do this get on your nerves, remember that as soon as you see any invitation page from your isp (thats interception plain and simple) any of your data could be mirrored anything could be harvested just phorms words of trust us (like trusting harold shipman to be your doctor).
Even if any isp offered me a free 100mb connection with added phorm i still wouldnt take it sure a few might but not those in the know no way, bt might risk another trial as they are in the black and could loose a few customers and take fines, virgin though will say nothing not one thing about it yet with them still being in the red mass exodus will hurt the company big time and they know it.
Simple matter of fact is if phorm/webwise does get past regulations in some bizzare manner prepare for exodus and then people securing there net transmissions even more over secure sessions and blocking EVERY add (not that the net needs more advertising or relevance).
OIX (Open Internet Exchange) as phorm lolably calls it open to who ahh yes those who can afford it, do you think websites who rely on there advertising want it poached or overwritten (might not be at the start but ahh the function creep sets in) where is the list of oix partners? would be great to actually know who is thinking of teaming up with them or have they just got agreements with them to serve ads.
There is and never will be relevance in advertising simple fact and if there is it would be needed by about 0.1% of net users if that, it would all end up as irrelevant as any other advert on the net would it not?.
