An insurance firm already does this!

My 23 year old daughter passed her driving test this year all insurers were asking over £1,500 for her she went with insurethebox who place a black box in her car. This gives her feedback about her driving plus bonus miles over the month for good driving.

She is happy as without them she couldn't afford to drive.

They recently took over identnet

This whole thing stinks how can they be buying out companies while they are planning to be struck off at companies house. This whole affair needs to be investigated it smells fishy must be lots of dirty washing hanging around creditors swing for their money but someone is sitting pretty as a fatcat.

Good Job the House of Lords have principles

Thank god the house of Lords have some scrupples left and not as paraniod as this government.

Time for an election don't think Labour will be back in a rush tghey have totaly lost the plot.

ID cards only IF

The only way I would consider even bothering to read the application form would be if this card held no details of personal finance.

You do not need to attach medical records or finance to an ID card, no explanation can ever make this a requirement. Too much information on one card is dangerous to all more so with the untrustworthy MP's that find any excuse to milk the system.

I vote instead of ID cards we have a card for MPs that verifies the expenses the MP charges if the date and time was not an official function then no charge, no second home expenses.

Country would be more financially stable if the MPs stopped lining their pockets with our hard earned cash an ID card with all financial details would make it easier for them to milk us dry.

Time for no to ID cards!

No to large database of personal details!

AND

No confidence in this government

Should be scrapped and their right to claim expensis scrapped.

Workers on low pay around me that work for council are having a paycut while all bills still rise. Are the Government MP and all councillors also having a pay cut?

Time to see Brown and all he placed in power to follow Jaqui lets see if they have the balls to go or is this why thye forcing us into the police state to keep themselves on the gravy train.

Hope he sacks himself

and rest of his selected cronies

Vote of no confidance

Title says it all shame the public cannot ask for a card from local council to send up saying if we have confidance in what the government are doing. I kow mine would be a large NO

Forwarding my reply to the EU

Well if Gordon Brown is too old to understand this technology and the dangers, the ICO do not have the experience to comprehend the issues I think we need the EU to protect us from the fools who have been allowed in charge of this countries citizen’s privacy. It is sad also that today’s government would fudge and borrow comments/phrases from information posted by BERR and the ICO as this shows the lack of understanding or even care of this labour government for the citizens. I think if we had a monkey in charge instead of Brown it would do a better job.

Now to forward my email to Commissioner Reding if you need help finding her email addy google is your friend.

Government, Privacy invaision and BT

Well would seem BT, Labour and spying all meet usinb BT network which has more hop baock without movingb very far on the internet then they add in the extra hops for the webwise profiler to gther ore information without consent. Would be a who lot of information. If these two keep heading they way they are the whole WWW will become encrypted.

A better route.

Instead of reducing the workforce by such large numbers which in turn could reduce the speed in which faults can be fixed all BT need to do is reduce the wages at the top end.

Ian could manage on £300,000 instead of £550,000 the there is the person who had a £150,00 pay rise when Ian took charge add to this the 50% pay increase to those who are on the board of directors including Patricia Hewitt and the workforce jobs are safe and BT saved money.

Simple Maths if you actually remove some top places where there is always double ups the saving can be considerably higher.

What a lot of Bull

I live in Manchester and refuse to pay for something that will hold a lot of my personal information on it. I have a driving licence i do not need anything more for p[roof of identity.

The cards if they are making them compulsory have to be free of charge, free of personal information all that is needed is name photo date of birth address nothing more.

Then I still would refuse to pay for this a passport is all that is needed for proof.

This will be another black mark against the Looney labour policies, and people called Maggie Thatcher for the poll tax this is much worse.

Give Looney labour enough rope they will hang themselves with these policies.

Hang on the person in charge isn't even the democratic elected leader is a stand in too scared to have an election.

Paranoia, power hungry mindless leadership continues watch this space there is more to come.

Government doing deals with BT.

If this is allowed then any company should be allowed to fit a telephone line to customers house. The rule for ADSL has to be a BT line has to be removed also so any line supplied from any company is allowed with any ISP.

Either full open market or stay locked as BT is now can't have it both ways, bT cannot be sole owner of network if not held tot he obligation.

Any more daft Ideas looney Labour?

Look at history see what happens when you leave children unsupervised anywhere!

I never left my two children online for 2 hours 21 years ago mind I was a parent who considered they were my responsibility to protect them. How many children have vanished from parks, shopping malls, even holiday apartments due to be left unattended..

This is your problem and if this politician does leave his children unattended or feels he has no time to supervise his children then he needs to revaluate his responsibilities. If he has children then their health and safety is his responsibility. If you have the child taught your ways even after 21 they will keep letting you know where they are.

The problem with today’s children is lack of parental control or more lack of parents giving the children quality time instead of being too busy. They spend too much time on their own watching videos, DVD’s or left on the internet losing communication skills plus gang culture as many are allowed out all hours by parents who want to be without them for 2 hours. No child should ever be left unsupervised regardless of where they are. He should stay home at Christmas to be with them instead of spouting this rubbish in interviews is a start.

This needs to have an independant enquiry and public one

We need this cleared all that have lied removed and if Police fail to follow speakers instructions and return all hardware they also need to be investigated.

Time to stop the stealth tricks Brown we know you want total surveillance of the UK citizens but all you plan is outside the EU rules for our privacy anyone else wish to use EU against this government they will go down in history as the one government in the UK with an unelected Prime Minister to have kept the EU court of Human rights busy due to his paranoia, urge to control and total spy on UK citizens.

BT also deleted

Any threads that showed them exceed the 5days to deliver a MAC key. I know first hand on this as I posted in the one that was under the heading 9 days and counting..

My son had three cancelations placed on his BB just because he was told BT had broken their contract with him and was entitled to move for free even though he still had 10months contract left. Took BT over 3 weeks to just generate his MAC they also had to void the last month’s bill as if they had generated the MAC as promised he would have been out before the next billing month.

Just how much has all this cost BT in lost revenue, their reputation in customer trust?

Any ISP that decides the only way is to delete the customer’s posts then ban them are onto a loser.

BT heavy handed with all including customers

Should BT be made to account for their recent actions, not only are they trying to sell off your privacy for commercial gain, rip off copyright from websites to help fund they now throw their toys out of the pram for gods sake Ian grow up or get out..

BT are getting a bad reputation which is caused by those at the top, now thye are censoring their own forums banning customers who dare to mention webwise or phorm.

If this is the only way BT can deliver faster BB then those like Ian are on too high a wage £550,000 is over payment for the work supplied.

Trust, do you, can you?

BT are heading for the award for the ISP run more like a comedy of erros instead of a bluechip communications company.. Oh how the mighty have fallen towards the gutter, with one after another news release about BT. They have been guilty if misleading information to customers, using in aprprate methods to suppress the truth. There is a very long one thread on BT beta which is often heavily censored with members being warned for posting the unmentionable words on other ports of the forum. The best part so far is by Angus who has brought the whole mess into a few posts. main part here http://www.beta.bt.com/bta/forums/message.jspa?messageID=45407#45407

Time to clear the dead wood from BT and any government official who allowed this to continue.

Time to return OFCOM

Would seem OFCOM has changed into an extra arm for the government to gain more backdoor taxes this time for voluntary rescue team..

Has OFCOM become redundant since they seem to have changed from looking after the UK civilians to looking after the government.. What happened to the independant body since they seem to only be looking out for ways to increase the money going into the governments pockets.

How much can we save then if this independant body was all made redundant and we started to find a group to take over the role and defend, look after the UK civilians against UK government scaremongering, backdoor taxes and invaision of UK citizens privacy.

Will all with access

Will all those with access to the phorm profiler and other information have the police checks?

Since BT will be profiling young children what is to stop a paedophile from working gathering this information and also using the system to get personal details on the children. Yes I know you all keep saying it is anonymous but there is ways with a system like this to gather hidden information. We also know that word of mouth isn’t enough in today’s society with the paedophiles

BT Openreach and charges

Would seem BT has started to use Openreach as a way to charge customers regardless of if there is a fault or not. If an engineer cannot find the fault and puts no fault found then the customer is charged anything from £150 to £199 pound. They are about to change things making even SNR issues needing an engineer out, this has always been dealt without an engineer visit this visit will also be chargeable. OFCOM now need to regulate BT Group since 90% of the time they say it is the EU when it isn't. The public are getting scared of calling out the BT engineer due to the charges which now leaves a large number of people using slower speeds than they should have.

BT needs to realise they need to supply the service that is being paid for not say it is EU or line degeneration after years of steady faster speeds and suddenly after BT upgrades an exchange your speeds drop.

Outsourcing doesn't work it didn't for Virgin Media their network went ddown hill fast, customers complained about the instaltions. Bad move BT it would look like Ian Livingston is slowly breaking BT up into little sections making it ripe for a takeover.

Free upgrades

BT has always given free upgrades to faster speeds, What will be interesting here is if BT start to make the customers who refuse to be phormed have an inferior connection. There are already many on reduces speeds due to the fear of the excessive fee's BT charge if no fault is found. The fact the customers speeds have dropped and their equipment is not at fault. It is taking longer and longer to get BT to fix faults some have been charged more than once of over £100 then some 4 months later BT fix the fault as overhead wireing with breaks causing intermitten faults..

Regulation of the faults is letting customers down and BT profit, now BT wish to use Phorm to profit from customers who are already paying. This is too little to late for me I will be also blocking BT ip numbers from my websites

For WiFi to be free

You would need something like targeted adverts to pay for the free connection..

You get nothing good that is free the best things in life cost.

Is labour certifiable now

I am sure that with this latest halfwit idea the whole labour government are certifiable as insane, unfit for the jobs they hold and time to see the shrink..

If they go ahead with this when Brown is so far in debt with the country fast becoming a third world poor country..

If they do continue the people will not continue to take this abuse of their privacy, human rights is it time for the public to stand up and say enough we do not wish to have this type of invasion if Brown is so scared of terrorists then resiign and buy some big home in middle of nowhere with high fencing and never come out.. That would do us all a favour.

Ignorance is no excuse

Well seems like London police are pleading ingnorance since the guy investigating is not technology minded he cannot understand the crime.

Is he in the right job!

Ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law so way are the police using it as one,

So now it is legal to stalk someone? as long as there is no criminal intent.

I think it is time to say the Labour government are turning screws on this they must have some money inthe labour funds ffor allowing it to go ahead or on a promise..

Time for no confidance in the labour party , our police force and BT.

Trust is the main word

You need to know you can trust thoise in a position steal your DATA.

We trust, or used to trust the companies like BT. Phorm has never been one you could trust to many links into murky water.

A question that had been around a few times which tended to be given a wide birth or fudged answers is.

Question asked was to a forum member called Hamsterwheel searches link him to Phorm and he does admit to being with Phorm.

Q. Would you agree Hammy that if the servers for webwise had a slight alteration of script the program could be programmed to retain more personal details without the customer knowing?

A. Of course they could, but they have promised not too, and if they did and got caught they would be in all sorts of bother. They would not jeopardise their business by doing such silliness.

We all know what temptation can do and with scriptors fro around the world including Russia just how trustworthy are they for handling this type of program linked into your ISP network where all your personal DATA is ripe for picking.

only one party left

There is only one party asking awkward questions at present on this governments hunger to spy on citizens and that is LibDem..

Think I know who I will vote for had moved from labour to cons now cons seem on same wave lentgh we are all guilty until spied on for innocence.

I know who I would trust

If advertising is going ahead I know who I would trust more between Googles method and Phorm DPI method.

Google are not on your Internet network giving you very little chance to avoid DPI.

Google do not intercept your browsing as soon as you type in an url.

You can sign in on google giving what persoanl data you wish or like me never auth just use the search.

Google do show which results in the search results are paid for adverts so you can choose if you wish to click on them.

Google didn't stealth into your ISPs network then become a front porch which you have to be strip searched every time you access the internet.

If you don't trust Google then you can not visit or use them but with DPI behavoural advertising you cannot it is out of your control and your privacy is on show to third party advertisers..

Just who would you trust?

No difference to BT and phorm/webwise

They always hide the evil stuff behind a protection promise like Phorm/webwise BT selling it to customers to protect you from phishing, which any browser can do. Whiel all the time they are pimping your clicks to sell to advertising companies adware/spyware hidden behinde a ssecurityu promise to save you from phishing. Nothing has changed from rootkit days just targeted differnetly.

BT, Phorm and the government.

It is a three way split BT got into bed with phorm a company already rejected for rootkit spyware/malware in the same years by the public. Government sees a way to put survailence on all UK subjects for free forgets that in doing so could lead to worse DATA breach than all the laptops , flash pens, CD's of personal data they have already left about the world.

Phorm is an untrusted company by Internet uses due to past dealings, BT is also losing customer trust over this VM and talktalk will lose trust but to add all IF there is a government deal where BT will not get into prosecuted over the stealth trials can we ever trust a labour government again?

Try asking the British people if.

1, they like to be observed as a terrorists while just living their normal life?

2, treated as guilty until proven innocent?

3, allowing all data about them held in servers by the government?

4, Accept profiling for adverts using words harvested from being stalked over the internet?

5, Be told how the internet should be used by people in the government who don't understand the workings of the internet themsleves?

6, If all above goes ahead would you start to encrypt everything from daily browsing to emails?
