BBC NEWS | Technology | Phorm shares fall as BT opts out - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1...

"Shares in the online ad firm Phorm have fallen by a third after BT said it had no immediate plans to use the service that tracks online behaviour."

However, the tech has been proven.. I'd say keep a very watchful eye on this, as it's likely to return very quietly. This announcement makes me as cautious as I am happy.

Thank goodness, by having one of the most popular internet providers opting out of Phorm, the effect of the privacy issue will be much less prevalent!
- Josh Chandler
As I said, be careful. BT are looking to Google for their "interest based advertising" (since when did behavioural tracking advertising get a rename?). But, one of the nastiest companies surely looks buggered now, which is good news. Now, if only I could walk up to Kunt.. er, Kent to point and laugh as hard as I can.

Please burn these idiots with fire! Will we eventually have to start our own ISP, if we ever want to escape from this, at the rate we're going? :(

Yay, "The decision deals a massive blow to Phorm. At the time of writing, its shares were trading down more than 25 per cent at £3.53". Does anyone want to short these folks, or try and drive them into bankruptcy? I can see them turning into the Next SCO soon...

I have held plans for creating an open wireless mesh network where the community could operate a node and locals pay them for access to it. Don't like the way your local node is being run? Pop your own up and connect. Problem is it would fall foul of radio frequencies licensing, issues with noise, anyone with any tech knowledge would be immediately wary of an open network etc
