As the larger one was a delayed trade from much earlier, it was actually much more likely to have been a BUY.

That is why the price went up - Investing 101.

Why are people QUOTING, REPLYING, BEING SUCKED IN BY THIS PERSON (the one whose arguments goes round in circles as though we are stuck on a hamster wheel)? We have been there, seen it and done it!!!

If you follow what has gone on this forum from over the weekend, debating, talking, conversing with this guy or gal is a waste of forum space, detracts from the debate and waters down the good content on this board.

PLEASE IGNORE? He or she does the same on other boards and adds no value to the debate apart from dragging replies from the mainly senseless comments that are made which I feel is done purposely.

What does anyone else think of this idea? Anyone know where the big call centres are?

(Let's focus on the issues and not go around that wheel thing again!)

There is a BT call centre in:
Was: Dundas Arcade Now: Dundas Shopping Centre
Dundas Street
Middlesbrough
TS1 1HR
Telephone: 01642 230800

Totally agree (again). I have started PMing those who do respond, pleading with them to stop.

Cool.

We should have a sweepstake.

Closest guess to the start date and time of the next BT trials.

This could be 'technical' trial, 'user' trial, or a trial before the beak (sorry my lord), whatever comes first, involving Phorm and BT.

I suppose, to clarify, whatever is officially confirmed, by BT or the CPS.

Cost of entry, Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£5 donation to NoDPI.org, honesty required!

Prize for the winner : bragging rights and any rep points people want to give.

I'm off to do my donation and will post my guess in a bit.

EDIT : Prize for the winner : [changed , for :] - no prize except the brownie points. Apologies for typo.

NoDPI.org keeps all the money anyway. No cash prizes in this one, just the brownie points.

I've just put in a fiver @

https://nodpi.org/

My guess is Monday, July 14th at 9.00 am.

They are so confident this will all work that they will start 2 days before the AGM.

Anyone else having a go quote the following so late joiners know what it's about.

I'd rather place a bet that the trials will have to be halted early due to technological problems.

It's now coming up to a year since the last trials. A lot has changed since then. They may have updated the platform to take into consideration legal issues but they may not have taken into consideration changes in website technology and changes in user usage.

Users are downloading more and sites are becoming more complex - more sites are embracing web 2.0 techniques. Since 2007 many more users would have upgraded to 'faster broadband' and many would be using different hardware to what they had a year ago. Many would have upgraded their security software and even things like the O/S (windows) would have seen users PCs change significantly with auto updates, service packs etc.

The delay in trials could create new problems which they haven't had the chance to investigate yet.

IMO, if the trials do go ahead they will not be as successful as they are hoped to be. It could be that there would need to be a further trial later in the year.

EDIT: My guess on the exact date when the trials will start?

It will be the day the 80/20 PIA is released

I have just donated my Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£5 to the just cause but can I claim the trial NEVER START date? I love to be positive and someone should be able to claim that date.

Ok my fiver is in.

I'm punting for 1st April 2009, because I reckon its going to take time

Arrests, office raids, bail hearings, pre-trial hearings, case preparation, witness statements, potential extradition, imprisonment etc.

All of which takes time if you do it properly.

Hopefully 80/20 have woken from their bad dream by now and written an honest privacy assessment. That being the case I would imagine that Phorm would never let it see light of day ( just like the 80/20/Phorm meeting) and that would mean - I win the sweepstake!
