Agree completely. How BT ever got into bed with 121 Media defies comprehension.
I did wonder if the person who posted that analysis might have been a trial victim, who got confused by the injection of Javascript code into his pages (which in itself demonstrates what a stupid idea modifying anyones private communications is, for the telco not just the recipient).
But that post I linked to dates from April 2006, supposedly well before the BT trials in Q3/Q4 2006.

My interpretation is this;
The poster seems to have received spam concerning various 'controversial' topics.
When he followed links in the spam, he was taken to a site called 4everdns.com.
On the pages of 4everdns.com he found Javascript from sysip.net embedded in the pages. The script was grabbing IP addresses from visitors.
When he followed the name server details for sysip.net, he found 121 Media were responsible.
121 Media is the previous trading name of Phorm.
So to conclude...
Either
- the 'controversial' spam messages/host sites may have been linked to 121 Media
or
- there was possibly a trial of PageSense running in April 2006

If so questions to ask
- Which ISP were you with in April 2006?
- Did you keep a copy of the spam emails?
- Did you keep a copy of the pages involved?
- Were any other pages affected, or was it only 4everdns.com?
