"CEOP works closely with the industry to track potential victims and sex offenders. Since 2006 the unit has made 9,400 requests for information to ISPs.
The information can "very often, identify, locate and safeguard a child who is subject to abuse," according to Mr Gamble.
The law says that ISPs can charge for the service. Some do not. Others, though, demand as much as £65 a time. "
I hope PlusNet is one of the ISPs opting not to charge the police for information which could lead to the prosecution of these offenders. Perhaps someone from PlusNet can confirm?

Good to know.
Perhaps in view of this news story you should put a small notice to this effect on the login screen and/or home page. Might help influence those choosing an ISP, might even exert some welcome pressure on your competitors to stop charging for this information.

I also saw this news item on BBC Breakfast this morning and wondered which ISPs were profiting from a sick trade albeit in a somewhat convoluted manner.
