BBC News Website: Phorm
« on: April 07, 2009, 06:03:25 PM »

Take a look here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7988154.stm

Then get Firefox and download the Firephorm plugin or the Dephormation plugin.

Online advertising firm Phorm is pressing ahead with plans to launch more than a year after it first drew criticism from some privacy advocates

I hardly think they are likely to quit now - theyve invested too much time and money into it. 
Now that BT appear to have more or less given it the green light its looking pretty grim for those who are anti-phorm.

I still dont think that BT are advising their users about phorm correctly, and iirc, they make more of a song and dance about how good webwise is.  :(

I know I have said this before but it will be interesting if users on BT stop getting cashback (Quidco and the like) or clickthroughs.

I will laugh my socks off if it happens and await the mass exit from BT to any other ISP not using Phorm.
