"The introduction of new business models can be controversial, but may 
be very important in the delivery of new access networks. Regulation 
can have a role, for example in helping to increase consumer confidence 
in new services. One example is improving consumers´ perception of 
behavioural advertising."

The most complete example of regulatory capture I have seen for a 
while. Presumably the likes of Phorm, British Telecom Talk Talk and 
Virgin have been whining to OFCOM. How dare those dammed customers 
complain about us.
