That's the second draft of it. The first draft in April was much more gung ho.

In April they were talking about a partnership with Phorm, and an imminent launch (VM's own website, not Phorm).

So take what they are saying at the moment with a pinch of salt. They are waiting to see how BT's misery pans out.

In the meantime, notes on moving from cable to a Phorm free ISP are here.

Gimme a sec!

Would I leave you unquoted?

Watch this post bwana...

Quote 1)

The Reg article mentioning the hundreds of thousands figure from the annual report. BT's 'illegal' 2007 Phorm trial profiled tens of thousands

Quote 2)

Phorm Annual Report April 24
"In Q4 of 2006, we conducted a live user trial of PageSense with a UK ISP, and we are about to start a larger trial of ProxySense with a test base of several hundred thousand users."
Kent Ertugrul
Chief Executive Officer
23 April 2007


Quote 3)

Wikileaked BT report into the 2006 trial (site currently down?)

"Phase 2 testing will also validate the features and performance of the 121Media Media Planning tool. The test will also run on a much larger userbased (approx 350,000) and statistically useful numbers will provide more information on the commercial model" (page 5/52)

Quote 4)

Wikileaked BT report into the 2006 trial (site currently down?)

(same quote as above repeated) (page 42/52)

Quote 5)

Wikileaked BT report into the 2006 trial (site currently down?)

"A second phase Pilot deployment will be undertaken with a larger userbase"
(page 5/52) (ie, greater than 18,000 in the first trial)


more coming... or there would be if I could find the EoN transcripts... he corrects Alistair at one point and says words to the effect, "my information is 160,000", I'll see if I can find it in the audio (unless someone can direct me to a transcript).
