Story: BT finishes trial, expects to use Phorm
Naive? Me?
Welcome "UKGUY" - good of you to join to put an alternative (all be it a minority) view!
Naive is one thing I am not in this area. Naive though is a view that we *need* deep packet inspection to be employed to afford our speedy data connection.
For instance, I quit BT only when they announced the trial was (finally) starting and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. I now do pay about 3 pounds more per month with no contract period tie in and much faster speed, unthrottled and best of all, with a confirmation in writing that the ISP is not considering using Phorm's invasive, copyright infringing, intercepting Webwise system designed to follow me around and sell my interests to the highest bidder.
Also, because I won't use an ISP who is up to this "behind my back" (for two years at least) I am not aiding them use the work of others, which is copyright, to better themselves.
Someone is on a different planet if they think that targeted ads will pay for broadband. How many ads would they need customers to click on to get back the £20 a month I was gladly paying?
Yes I watch TV. Do I watch the ads? Not really - I record a lot of what I want to see and fast forward. If I want something, yes I Google for it. No I don't find them intrusive, I get a good deal from their existence.
