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.
