As mentioned on Slashdot today, Wikileaks posted internal documents about BT's "Phorm" trial, which uses the deep packet inspection technology:

In addition to the 18 million regular advertising injections or hijackings, it appears charity advertisements were hijacked and replaced with Phorm advertisements. “The advertisements were used to replaced [sic] a ‘default’ charity advertisement (one of Oxfam, Make Trade Fair or SOS Children’s Villages) when a suitable contextual or behavioural match could be made by the PageSense system.”

if anyone doubted the ability of DPI to actually replace publisher ads with those specified by the ISPs.
