Hi Alex @ Phorm

So employees have opted to exercise share options.

I'm not a financial analyst, won't this further dilute the value of the shares? (ie, if there are more shares, the value of each share is less, albeit a small %)

Would this also explain the hike in the share price around the 12?

I hope you aren't suggesting Phorm and/or its employees are involved in anything shady

They like cockroaches only come out when all dark quite, but soon as you turn a light on them scurry away.

He has perhaps managed to copy the next report to his boss Kent about our wonderful work, Hope the royalties for webdesigners has a patent in or Kent might try to hijack that.

Charter looks a lot like BTs original Phorm opt out (but doesn't refer to the Webwise domain). I don't think its Phorm, but it looks similar client side.
its NebuAd as i pointed out last night/early this morning here
#6545

"
NebuAd signed up with charter in the US coverage today, it got /. 'ed too

and they are holding a NebuAd public meeting in several US places apparently....

perhaps some US users will get to these, and video tape the WHOLE meeting for proof later of any tech quotes etc.

that info might come in handy for the Uk NebuAd launch if it ever happens here OC.

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

Dephormation , it seems like an interesting idea to me if you can find some live Charter users in the US that will allow you to VNC in or get them to setup a proxy on their userside connection for your use to gather as much information as you can get.

some full wireshark data capture might be very useful too perhaps,later.

any US Charter users here that have this NebuAd active on your connection reading this thread, hold you hands up and get involved

perhaps someone can even make a small self contained VirtualBox image with all the required apps installed to help the non/less tech users run a temp DPI ISP busting data collection node for gathering the data they dont want the end users to know about.

Technically speaking, cockroaches are scavengers, not parasites... as will be made clear in a forthcoming treatise on the topic.

What is really interesting is the timing. The stock has taken a battering recently, with a resurgence last Friday barely taking it back to the mean. An employee deciding to exercise their options at this relatively low price compared to the dizzy highs of Februay 14th???!!

Electronic Commerce Regulations 2002 make the following provision
Caching
18. Where an information society service is provided which consists of the transmission in a communication network of information provided by a recipient of the service, the service provider (if he otherwise would) shall not be liable for damages or for any other pecuniary remedy or for any criminal sanction as a result of that transmission where -

(a) the information is the subject of automatic, intermediate and temporary storage where that storage is for the sole purpose of making more efficient onward transmission of the information to other recipients of the service upon their request, and

(b) the service provider -

(i) does not modify the information;

(ii) complies with conditions on access to the information;

(iii) complies with any rules regarding the updating of the information, specified in a manner widely recognised and used by industry;

(iv) does not interfere with the lawful use of technology, widely recognised and used by industry, to obtain data on the use of the information; and

(v) acts expeditiously to remove or to disable access to the information he has stored upon obtaining actual knowledge of the fact that the information at the initial source of the transmission has been removed from the network, or access to it has been disabled, or that a court or an administrative authority has ordered such removal or disablement.

A good route might be to contact the tech support departments at US Universities. They will have tech savvy people who may have Nebuad infestation on their home connections.
