[governance] DPI technology and regulatory move

[Izumi AIZU]

Dear all list members,

I got involved in a study group on DPI (Deep Packet Inspection)
and behavioral targeting advertising (and its policy issues) with ISP,
Ad agency layers, and our government as observer in Japan.

Of course, I am on the side of protecting the privacy as well as
confidentiality of communication, with proper balance with business.

Do you know how current DPI technology works in some detail?
One target is, of course, Phorm, as they intend to start business
in Korea and eventually in Japan. Yet under the "NDA" the vendors
(ISPs) are quiet about how they use the technology without
interfering the privacy. There is a plan that they will start business
in Korea, after giving up in UK and US market, at least for the
time being.

If you know any bit of info, or source/reference, or expert, that
will be great.

Many thanks in advance.

izumi
