I must say that I only found out about this "Deep Packet Intrusion" thing a short time ago, half an hour ago in fact, and I'm still reading up on it through the NoDPI.org site.

I, like member "Delta Whiskey" who posted (#40), use FF & Ad-Block Plus, though I don't use any list, I just block what I don't like to see.

I do have reservations about people's surfing habits being "Sold" though, why does money have to rule (ruin) everything these days?

My two cents, as they say.

TTFN, Sparkytus.

this is a point i have made to BT on several occasions and just get back it is MY RESPONSIBILITY to ensure I educate the users on my network???

i am waiting for a reply from dear emma regarding this and other issues, hopefully in the next few days

if BT / Phorm can't know who is surfing HOW can they know WHO is accepting the contract and if they can LEGALLY accept the initial change in T's and C's, UNLESS THEY HAVE ACCESS TO BT's CUSTOMER DATABASE!!!

"Phorm shares ready to bounce"

Anyone buy the Sunday Times yesterday? I can't find anything on the net to substantiate the above.

Do you think you could add your voice to those contacting the EU Commission on this issue and suggest that your readers may like to do likewise?

Tell me who to write too. Post it either here or on my blog and I'll gladly do so. I have already passed my 2 posts on the matter to my contacts at BT whom have yet to respond, though to be fair it's still early!

I have informed the Web Analytics Association in Finland about this and will inform my UK WAA contacts directly to see if they would be prepared to lend their support to the argument.

Hmmmm..... I was looking at the Sunday Times Website, nothing there.

Anyhow thanks

re: When is the start of the new trial?

I'll give an odds-on price that the start date will be announced on the same day that the 80/20 PIA is released to the press.

No. I won't take any bets on this now. IMO it's a cert.

It's about halfway down the article, stating BT will be starting the trials this week, and that Kent may have another ISP joining up.

Also Meglena Kuneva... who (I believe) is visiting the UK on Friday to discuss Phorm with UKG. (Faxing her might be your bet option btw).

We all know they shouldn't but many do let them either way if phorm is on the network how many Government ministers use BTinternet for their connection. We know most are not totally IT complient, understand the workings ofd the PC and internet. How long before Government documents start to show up for sale taken from the mirror images phorm do..

This program in the wrong hands (oops it already is in the wrong hands) is a danger to stae security a bigger danger than any terrorist trying to gain entry to the UK this is the unexploded bomb from within...

Wonder if the trials will go ahead I know Emma has stopped replying to me maybe it is time to try another letter.

Still not happy with the excuse on why the shareholders haven't been told about phorm past history or what this program can do ahh almost forget maybe the BT cheifs don't understand phorm or its true potential since they cut out BT Design in the trials...

Dephormation · 16-06-2008, 11:35

Someone, somewhere, is desperate to shore up Phorm's share price.

I can't help but wonder if there is a PR feint going on here, to test and measure public resistance (they've done this a few times over the last few months).

Personally I still think, the signs are not there for this week. BT haven't published anything in their own name. The webwise kit is in the 'wrong' hands if anonymity is going to be assured by anyone. EC Commission is on their backs on Friday.

Be prepared by all means (I am, I left my Phorm infected ISP), but watch out for the PR strategy at work too.
