i showed you and the other readers how you can be far more effective using the existing law, and with no need to run away from the fight, and using very little effort at that.

For the record, the only thing I disagree with is that using a DPA Notice would be an
effective and
practical method to avoid having Tech Support calls (on the premium phoneline) transferred to an offshore call centre.
As far as I'm aware, this use of the DPA is entirely untested and therefore unproven, notwithstanding that, as you say, VM *ought* to comply.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that they will.
I suspect it's far more likely that they'll ignore the Notice in the hope that you don't force the issue (ie. deliberately break the law) or, more likely, tell you that they can't comply with your instructions and offer to terminate your account.
However in the interests of pure legal research, why don't you submit a DPA Notice as you've outlined and see what happens. As I've previously stated, I'll be very interested to read your account and should VM comply by agreeing not to export your data, namely by restricting your TS calls to UK personnel, then I promise to stand you several virtual drinks.
