Those blog comments are pretty dismal; aside from the didn't read/don't understand/just angry, the repeated calls for a total list of trusted partners - is a blog comment really the right place to ask that? Does anyone expect O2 to answer those?
And how many people think such a list is going to be useful at all? It won't be three companies you've heard of, it will be pages and pages of sites and background services companies and test sites and so on.
Mr or Mrs "I want to make a considered decision, I might not trust them", are you really going to make a considered decision if your number is passed to, say, "TechElbonia UK Services, O2 portal processing for connections passing through dept 17 routes, and URLs matching the following 10 line regex (..)"?
The list of trusted partners is interesting to see what happens if you spoof mobile phone numbers. They've already said that it's involved in payment in some way...
