The report has now been released and is available in PDF here.
I have not had to time read and digest in full, but a quick word search highlights pg. 201 to be of particular interest to those of us interested in behavioural advertising and the emphasis on 'effective self regulation'. The report also identifies targeted advertising as an important revenue earner, 'though one that can provoke a very strong consumer reaction' (pg 220). It also states that 'involved in the provision of behavioural advertising (including ISPs, advertising networks, advertisers and online publishers) will need to bear the value of their brand in mind'. This is curiously expressed, although surely with Phorm in mind?
Undoubtedly more analysis on this will follow.
