While BT have stated that no commercial broadband connections will be intercepted, have either TalkTalk or VirginMedia made any similar claim?
It is to be hoped that internet cafes, schools and libraries will be free from any ISP hosted DPI systems. IF they want to use something like BlueCoat, that is up to them.
I have been dropping off leaflets at internet cafes and usually get some raised eyebrows. However, I prefer to talk to people I hand out leaflets to as there are still those who believe that they have 'nothing to hide' or that 'everything is already being spied upon' or that 'nothing we can do to stop it'.
My main concern is that the 'viral effect' is not happening with the petition. Somehow, everyone who signs the petition needs to be sufficiently worked up about it that they involve another 20 people in signing too. We are only 5 people away from having a connection to everyone in the UK. If every one of those 16,000 signatures could tell another 20 people, numbers will be up to 160k very quickly.
Maybe some of the visitors here who are into the advertising media can suggest ways of improving the privacy message?
