human might misread 1-CD or I-CD, computers can't. The information supplied
is in the public domain. Obviously, any steps taken by Experian to eliminate
the confusion have had limited success.

I think you will find the company which publishes the database which
combines the BT Directories (in alleged breach of BT's copyright) and the
Voters Roll were calling themselves i-CD but since this was the name of
another product owned by a subsidiary of Experian they were forced to drop
it. The new style 1 CD is done so subtly that you didn't notice! I found
this to my cost when I referred to their product as i-CD at a conference and
got my ankles bitten by Experian - a bit embarrassing since I am a former
Director of another division of Experian.
