It is plain that all forms of conduct related to certain kinds of
traffic data [1] are excluded.
There may be some kinds of traffic data that are not required by the
telecommunications system to deliver a message, and I invite you to
provide some examples. We can then see if there's any overlap between
them and the traffic data that's currently under discussion in the
context of Phorm.
