Re: Fools!
Auctually, this is a great development. Once VOIP providers need to offer encryption to have anybody use their service the world will be a better place. You can NEVER beat technology, and this sort of development pushes us further ahead in the right direction. Soon with faster home lines and more IP space, total encryption will be a reality and wire tapping will be a thing of the past. |

| Yes, but knowing our lawmakers many of whom can be purchased rather easily, and our national penchant for over-legislating the crap out of everything, the end result will just be weak, easily-broken encryption. Remember the old debate about how PGP had a back door, at the request of law enforcement, once it became a commercial product?

| Maybe, but your under the assumption that we would be using US software for this. If the US companys cant sell it, everybody will get it internationally reguardless of legality. Privacy will always be protected in some form or another, take a look at openSSL. As far as i know there is no backdoor to it, its open source. |
