I agree... that statement doesn't mean that they can't
a) data mine
b) sell data to a shell company which can do what Phorm was doing

This is key. The opt-in/opt-out is a red-herring distraction. The hardware which Phorm installs at the ISP will deep packet inspect all data, all the time.

Exactly... just because they can't do a specific item (that's what happens when you make a law too specific), legal/business will find other ways around it.
