Agreed, I have not looked at his code, and, there is a lot to take in when looking at any new project, coding or not. My point is that I doubt there isn't one person out there that could handle it. It could be a lengthy search, but I don't think it is impossible.
I don't want to sound too much like a troll, but is it possible that this is a method to induce payment by the unmentioned sponsor? If the sponsorship was so crucial to the development of the project (which, as stated was done by a single individual for the most part) and the sponsor already has made use of the project, a change to another project, or relying on the OSS community to take over would be too costly or disruptive, that it may be in the best interest of the developer to come to this decision. I feel bad for Brad, grsecurity obviously is/was something he put a lot of time and effort into, and if matters have come up that prevent him from continuing, so be it. I don't, however like the fact that "no one else is good enough to produce the quality work he has" or "lack the vision for the poject", it seems to lack sincerity for some reason, and I wonder if his motives lie somewhere else.
I think it has something to do with the fact that @yahoo.com/@yahoo.ca/etc email addresses are being forged and Yahoo would like to see that stop. Stopping sender forgery would reduce the amount of returned email to their servers and represent a better service to their users on the whole.
This isn't a GPRS service. This is a separate product that is being marketed by Fido. The technology they are using is Multipoint Communications System (MCS). you can read more here: http://www.cwta.ca/media/press/aug21_03.php3 and http://www.inukshuk.ca/anglais/20031119press.html regarding the business partnerships.
There is competition in the market place for broadband access. This product from Fido is targetting the residential broadband market, so you have Cable and DSL on those fronts.
www.primesignal.com provides commercial broadband wireless access in the same area and, from our use of the product, find it to not only be reliable, but affordable as well.
A quote from TOMPAINE.COM regarding the Ellacoya IP Service Control System.
"The IP Service Control System from Ellacoya Networks gives the Broadband Operator 'Total Service Control' to closely monitor and tightly control its subscribers, network and offerings." So reads the Web site of Ellacoya.com, a relatively new firm, describing the business-to-business service that it is selling to large Internet service providers.
Where does this say Cable Companies? How does this not include the other Broadband ISPs such as DSL, or wireline/fibreline or COLO ISPs.
There are many real needs to manage bandwidth as it enters or leaves your network, regardless of what level of infrastructure you maintain.
By grooming some traffic or assigning QOS policies to others, it is possible for any ISP to provide a better level of service to their customers in general. I say possible, because in real world situations I hardly see the benefit of such a system outweighing the costs of the system and its impact. The Ellacoya software does nothing more than a collection of other similar products achieve, it is just bundled in one package.
I don't see it heing difficult to block AOL/Time-Warners competitors from their network without fancy packages such as this, and if they wanted to, they would have already, and it would have been blatantly obvious to anyone on their service.
