Spreading the word seems more important than dissecting every new bit of information that comes out of BT or wherever. Imho, the smart money would postpone Webwise until opposition is possibly less organised and vociferous. Let the climate cool as it were. The current financial turmoil is making Corporate decisions tough.

Imho, there's a waiting game to be played.

From a web masters PoV, identifying a wide range of technical/legal/commercial countermeasures is critical at this stage.

Because law enforcement and regulation has simply utterly failed to do its job.

You are right. As ever, spreading the word at grass roots level remains critical. The mainstream press are clearly not willing to cover this (though they obviously should).

Phorm must be stopped
