Online Media Daily: Phorm Deploys 'Webwise' With U.K.'s BT Group

Controversial behavioral targeting company Phorm will launch another test of its platform Tuesday with U.K. Internet service provider BT Group. Unlike the case in previous trials, BT will only deploy the platform, "Webwise," with subscribers who have affirmatively agreed to receive targeted ads. For the initiative, BT intends to intercept 10,000 users with a Web page asking whether they wish to sign up for Webwise, which it touts as offering "more relevant" ads.
