Behavioral targeting firm NebuAd rebrand or shut operations?

ClickZ report that behavioral targeting outfit NebuAd, which caused controversy with its ISP-level targeting technology, appears to have ceased operations. Article here.

Edit: I relayed this morning yesterday but this is not as clear as it might appear, and perhaps shows a weakness of blogs in only passing on reports without digging for facts. Last night No DPI reported that NebuAd opened an office in the UK last year and it seems they have now moved their operations here and rebranded as Insight Ready Ltd. More here.
