It is interesting that marketing companies were interested to pull Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) back from the grave given the risk companies may be exposed with laws in many countries.
One of the reason perhaps is the fact that Internet is being more "cross-border" from today and which means the risk of getting caught in legal issues.
As a matter of fact, mobile telecom industry have been using DPI since 2004 in monitoring mobile traffic but it accompanies with restrict retention policies to ensure they stay out of trouble with consumer groups and law makers.
So I guess for companies, for them to stay out of trouble and to maintain their privacy commitments to their customers, they simpy have to do the same.
