Phorm are going to open the source code up to inspection as reported here http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/03/19/phorm_8020_pi/

Someone needs to ask at the public meeting, or by some other means, what ongoing audit arrangements are going to be made to ensure that the code that is inspected is the code that is actually deployed.

It may be appropriate to post in the Virgin Media cable forum as well. I can't find any reference to ongoing code audits and how the code will be signed (or not) to ensure the integrity of the original code as inspected.

And it's not just the code, there's also the teensy little issue of data e.g. what stops them adding a Covert Channel[tm] to match/track something besides the innocuous categories we've seen aired in public?
