Virgin Media to trial filesharing monitoring system

[cunny]

Virgin Media will trial deep packet inspection technology to measure the level of illegal filesharing on its network, but plans not to tell the customers whose traffic will be examined.

The system, CView, will be provided by Detica, a BAE subsidiary that specialises in large volume data collection and processing, and whose traditional customers are the intelligence agencies and law enforcement.

Whats the Virgin EULA, FUP, Privacy Policy and TnC's say about virgins ability to do this? at the very least they would be in breach of contract if things are not explicitly worded.
