I accept that, which is why I clarified with 'as you seem to think they do'
From what Mike is saying he is under the impression the STM deployed on the VM Cable network uses DPI or other forms inspection to find out what is being transmitted - which is what is classed as 'interception' and is illegal without prior user consent.
From everything I have read the type of monitoring used by the STM is no different that what mobile companies use to find out how much data is being used, or how you find out how long someone has been on a phone call so you can charge them appropriately - both of which are completely legal
