Given the ICO's response to what Saul Hansell of the NY Times called 'The Mother of All Privacy Battles.
What the hell did they expect

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/0...ivacy-battles/

With NO assistance from the very people charged with protecting our privacy this spyware would be up and running by now.
It is only down to to the efforts of thousands of informed users across the internet that DPI for profit it has been delayed, hopefully forever.

Its on a par with your house being burgled and the police refusing to investigate properly. You would, quite rightly, be as angry with the police as with the burglar.
(And that happens more often than you might think )

No idea where you get your price from, but Phorm is unchanged today.

What with all the damning information that the ICO released I'm almost tempted to go back to BT just so I can cancel again. Almost.

It is easier to read, and easier to print out.
Why don't BT just cut to the chase and offer a more realistic choice?

Don't want to be threatened by BT again do we.
arr but would BT really have a problem with an Unauthorised "Derivative work"

ohh but then, this is a not for profit "Derivative work" and they only like commercial "derivative works" for profit

I think calling it that may be a contradiction of the "Phorm/BT Transparency Policy" (which will no doubt be leaked to us in due course):

"As a high profile company our customers can rely on our consistency and know we have consistently lied about the nature of BT Webwise. In the true spirit of transparency, we will continue to do so because this is what our customers have come to expect of us."
