I think this is targeting the technically illiterate which is probably the bulk of ISP customers, there's plenty of ways anyone with a little knowledge can get around this even if dpi is used. I was under the false impression that this would be formalising the method currently used, that being, collecting IP's off public file sharing networks. I can imagine a quite few businesses, both UK and foreign, won't be happy about their data being sniffed, - even if assurances are given.
