Any mileage in this? www.ustream.tv (live video streaming)

You can record your stream and link to it. Don't know how linux-friendly it is. Or more challenging capture using vlc, eg http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=143732

or you could video-conference with someone with eg aMSN and have them record it....

That's a bit old isn't it?

Still, so was the technology they used back in 2000 - They were still using netblazers as cpe's

From Cogent's web site
"We do not prioritize packet transmissions on the basis of the content of the packet, the customer or network that is the source of the packet, or the customer or network that is the recipient of the packet"

That leaves a bit of room for prioritizing based on PROTOCOL though doesn't it?

A thought just struck me, can it really be a coincidence that 24hrs after Phorms link to the Home Office is exposed, and 24hrs before the EU come knocking... All Phorm's domains suddenly move from Gyron back to the USA?

(which kind of validates the info the "cancer man" gave you Alex)

It's hard to believe that they're creating new positions

Technical Specialist, Ad Operations
Media Inventory Analyst
Systems Administrator
Product Manager
Product Marketing Manager
Project Management Office (PMO) Administrator

Monster.co.uk



would need to be someone with a twisted mind to work for them how can anyone do such a thing knowing that the poeple are being conned..

Beware, webwise.bt.com/www.webwise.bt.com/bt.webwise.com still go to Gyron.

All the other Phorm domains see to have caught a transatlantic getaway flight. Nice time for a summer holiday in the USA too. Perhaps its a Phorm corporate excursion. Why wouldn't you take your servers with you?

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

who on here has made FIO requests to the HO ?

as the register story says

Quote:
The Home Office refused to disclose further details of who was present at the August 2007 meeting with Phorm, how it was arranged, or what was discussed, saying that the information remained the subject of an ongoing FOI inquiry

so does one of our number have this outstanding as part of a FOI request , or is this delaying tatics until they say "national security or something"

WEll recently I have become more scepticle with our ICO so MPO is it a thick smoke screen, hiding behind words that sound like they are doing something when they are most likely not.

good interview,

alex, any milage in contacting isp's like zen etc who have publically said no to phorm and see if you can get any quotes regarding increase sales or enquiries where people have stated they are or will be moving isp as a direct result of phorm being trialed or planned to be implimented?

would be a good info at the demo to have some quotes from the competition on number leaving bt etc as a direct result of phorm to put infront of investors

Jason from UKFSN will be at the demo as a guest speaker. He owns UKFSN (an Entanet reseller). Still working on other things with regards the demo at the moment but I will confirm more details once I have them.
