Unsurprisingly the two are linked.

VM will want to make a certain amout of profit - they do this either through increasing subscription fees or through other means

Yeah? So why don't they ask me first before auto opting me in. If that is not stealth then I would like to know what is.
Yet when VM do offer an opt-in for Value Added servce - like the BB M uplift - everyone complains because they aren't doing it automatically!

If VM had wished to do the right thing they would have followed the recommendations of ICO and made it an opt in service.
That was a requirement of PHORM not this redirect. The two are not the same. There is no storing of user information
