Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
So Kent appears to be trying to quietly ditch the webwise brandname and attendant domains....let's not open the champagne just yet - he has has a history of this kind of thing. We need to be more vigilant than ever, looking out for the domains that he plans to use in their place (I'm sure he's learnt a valuable lesson from the Phorm affair; don't give your enemies details of your domains or how your system works. Make them figure it all out for themselves)
Here's a scenario: this change has been secretly planned for a while now, in conjunction with the next BT trials. Perhaps the delays in launching the trials are partly down to having to rewrite everything to work with the new "secret" domains. The plan is to launch the trial without telling anyone the domains that will be used, and so the anti-Phorm brigade will have no way of identifying those domains until after the trial has started - then they'll need volunteers to accept the trial in order to examine the re-routes to identify the new domains. In effect, it's Phorm going on the offensive. I certainly wouldn't write them off just yet...
