Submission + - Covert BT Phorm Trial Report Leaked (wikileaks.org) 5

stavros-59 writes: An internal BT report on the BT secret trials of Phorm (aka 121Media) Deep Packet Inspection has been revealed on Wikileaks today. The leaked document shows that during the covert trial a possible 18 million page requests were intercepted and injected with javascript and about 128 thousand charity ads were substituted with the Phorm Ad Network advertizements purchased by advertizers specifically for the covert trial period. Several ISPs are known to be using, or planning to use, DPI as a means of serving advertizing directly through Layer 7 interception at ISP level in the USA and Europe. NebuAd claim they are using DPI to enable their advertizing to reach 10% of USA internet users.

I would strongly suggest you either ideally do as others have suggested and put in ducting that means you can pull more cables later, or, if for some reason you can't, put in both fibre and cat5e - even if you only initially use the cat5, you've still got the fibre there for later, as running new cables without ducting will cost a fortune (in the redecorating costs if nothing else!)

The tricky bit about the whole thing is software, while there are lots of good individual bits and pieces for the various functions you probably want (MythTV for example), there isn't anything (AFAIK anyway) that lets you manage all these things centrally - if you want the house to be really clever, then having everything coordinated by one system is what you want...
