I'm not clear as to what insights will DPI provide once data is encrypted. What am I missing ?
The voice calls are also on LTE (VoLTE), and a similar DPI scheme could be used to get a lot out of that by recording and inspecting content and metadata. Legality aside, if they're intent on mining data, there are millions of people who wouldn't even know what http vs. https means or to use end-to-end encrypted apps for calls, etc. (or probably not care as much). I'm not implying that nobody will care, because there may be another prominent movement (savetheinternet) like the one that helped block Facebook's Free Basics initiative through campaigns and well crafted letters to the authorities.
Just use a VPN?
Also, lots of sites are not encrypted, still.
