Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
From my understanding they could buy as they are not in an official closed period.

I think some broker ripped of the buyer or they paid a premium for buying so little.

Commission wouldn't show up on the share price tho would it - that would be only on the Brokers figures?

Regulator gets power to fine for data breaches
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05...on_data_fines/
"The ICO has repeatedly asked for stronger powers to investigate and fine companies which are failing to take data protection seriously."
As much use as giving a machine-gun to a nun.
This means if you are a small business or a school or college etc, and you don't get your bits of paper in on time, you had better really watch out!

I want powers to fine a regulator who doesn't take data protection seriously.

That's a bit odd in itself though don't you think? 80/20 were commissioned to produce the PIA by the end of April. Would it be acceptable to their client to hear that "we're a bit busy at the mo so you'll have to wait". Seems unlikely. It is more likely that the PIA has been delivered to schedule. It's just not been shared with anyone yet. Like the video of your interview. Indeed, after all the time it has been talked about on this forum, do Phorm have to actually share it with anyone? I mean, if you didn't like it, couldn't you just rip it up? You may have wasted the commission fee but you'll have contained the damage.

It could be that due to changes in the system they have been given an extension, this would have clashed with Simons other work etc etc speculating etc.

well it lets BT of the hook
The Criminal Justice and Immigration Act got Royal Assent today. Sadly the law is not retroactive, so the long list of government departments which have lost or endangered our data in recent months will not be fined.

Don't worry. Plenty of existing laws BT broke.

I think not serial. It is a shame that Alexander logged off before giving his view especially as he is in closer contact with Simon. At the very least, the statement on the 80/20 site: "a final version of the PIA will be published by the end of April 2008" would be inaccurate.
No, I think the Assessment is with Phorm. When you buy something in business, you expect delivery on time.

80/20 have been slow to update their site, it still said they had carried out the PIA until last weekend when someone pointed out it should say "interim" PIA and Simon popped on to say it had just been changed.
