I saw this…

Here’s what I’ve tagged on del.icio.us on March 1st:
- Free download of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods - Boing Boing - Cory doesn’t like it. Nor do I.
- Neil Gaiman - Neil Gaiman’s Journal: The nature of free - the problem isn’t that books are given away or that people read books they haven’t paid for. The problem is that the majority of people don’t read for pleasure.
- Charles Arthur: Will Olympic athletes be blindfolded? - Charles speculates about restricted net access. At WSIS in Tunisia we got unfiltered access from the conference centre, I recall
- How Phorm plans to tap your internet connection | The Register - Excellent analysis of the privacy nightmare that UK ISPs - including my own until I switch - are planning to unleash on us in their search for revenue

Please, please, please. Can you persuade the BBC to get a report regarding BT & Phorm on their website.
So far I’ve written to BT, the BBC, The Telegraph, my MP & three Peers. So far I’ve got a repsonse from my MP & one Peer to say they’ve querying BT & Ofcom.
Getting this into the mainstream media is turning into a real problem.

Phorm is stirring up a lot of worry amongst subscribers to the affected ISPS, with many stating they will defect unless their ISPs drop this idea pretty quickly:
The Register’s Phorm files
One thing that hasn’t been highlighted strongly enough is that Phorm will be able to spy on the advertising sent to Phormed ISP subscribers and so give Phorm a substantial advantage over other web advertisers.
