Will a VPN ready router with OpenVPN help after the telco hardware?
Spend another few $ per month to try and secure your computer from the 'provided' hardware.
This is why everyone needs good crypto. Even the hardware has extra ways in:)
They get location, tech details about a call (unique ID numbers, traffic data), If needed voice prints, voice or message content, mapping or gov malware push down to allow a phone to be activated (live mic) or tracked.

Why? Parallel construction. It gets around needing a warrant, taking to/entering details into any court system or having any telco database knowing who is been looked at.
Both court systems and telco databases can be seen by *many* different people as a sensitive case is been investigated.
It seems someone is interested in that part of the world and any related traffic but has to use, can only use, can afford or wants to be seen as using browser methods.

Warrant or NSL for US brands access?
If the 5 eye nations can just ask for US access or go to a friendly US court or have access designed in under US law whats the payment for the big US brands for?
Why is Linux, VM and Tor browser so cheap or easy or well covered vs US brands that enthusiastically helped US and UK gov with decryption in the past are so expensive? Even some anti virus options seem to be lower on the list?

The UK is giving aways its nations power payments to China.
The design, build costs, running costs, decontamination, decommissioning cost all get covered by the UK with profit making for all the owners and services provided over the life of a nuclear project.
Russia is fine provider. Soviet Union or Russia have kept contracts as signed over the terms and time of the contract, built pipelines into the West as planned and agreed on. Russian gas flowed as expected, offered and paid for. If your nation stops paying mid contract or takes gas in transit, contract is recreated to reflect new costs or currency changes. Russia is not difficult to deal with for a gas pipeline contract. Price is set, product flows as paid for.
Re 'So, where is all that natural gas priced to be cost effect for power generation going to come from?"
Where is gas near the UK? Big new pipelines projects in from south or east as nation building projects? Port upgrades to ship in vast amounts of gas product from the middle east?
Or the UK has a bit of gas left in the local ocean thats still very easy and very cheap to get at for a while.
The other product is to push for domestic fracking ie a huge rush to offer new UK licences to explore for domestic oil and gas. The production price for a UK shale gas industry has to be under what the middle east can set its oil export price for:) Can the UK private sector get bank loans to go that cheap?
The question for domestic supply is: Can production be priced to make a profit or will tax payers have to support soft bank loans for the private sector to "nationalize" domestic gas production above and beyond what imported oil could be offered at.
Feel good private sector jobs fully funded by tax payers to keep new domestic gas projects funded over decades:)
That gas is going to be very fancy and the cost will have to be funded.
Thats the problem with trap doors and back doors mandated by 5 eye governments. Sooner or later ex staff, former staff, smart people, private sector security experts find the extra code and let the world know.
The UK has a plan to ban science that will try and extend the useful life of UK gov mandated trap doors and back doors.
The US gov is trying to make people feel better about the US private sector again while private sector help for collect it all is the only tool the gov has.
What can the public and private sector do globally to secure its own banking, product development, patents, science, technology, gov stats and data, medical, telco use, records from a 5 eye collect it all efforts?
Air gap, national computer centres of excellence that use domestic experts and generic products. Not as fancy, no big brands, lots of extra power use, heat, cooling, lots of extra coding but every line of code is understood and local developers have full employment.
Governments and brands just have to stop buying products that subvert their security as delivered and return to their own internal experts and shop around for secure products again.
It depends on the public setting. If everyone is invited in for free and your local city, state, federal gov has a 2.0 site with public comments allowed?
Then some freedom of expression and record keeping that might just fully cover public comments made:)
A government selecting to use part of a social media and web 2.0 product cannot then fall back on the private sector to remove freedoms before during or after speech if the gov set up a fancy web 2.0 site and invited people in to comment.
After the Church Committee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... the US had some very clear, simple, easy, not new domestic legal standards about what could and could not be done to US citizens. All the past illegality surrounding domestic dragnet warrantless spying on US citizens was to stop. The abuses of law presented in both open and closed settings needed to stop.
If a US citizen, get a rubber stamped, covers everything, open 24/7, easy to submit paperwork for warrant and its all 100% good every case.
Thats what the Church Committee requested after all its findings in the 1970's, just return to the US Constitution and everything the US gov wants to do domestically is 100% legal again.
The "clear answer" is just get a warrant, like in any case over the decades then legal teams have much less standing to challenge before any US court.
The other plus of having a real warrant is that the conviction is sound, no methods get mentioned in public. An attempted appeal might not even get started and be denied.
From 'E-mobility thought to the end: World's largest 2nd-use battery storage unit set to connect to the grid" (Nov 03, 2015) http://media.daimler.com/dcmed...
"However, the battery systems are still fully operational after this point, as the low levels of power loss are only of minor importance when used in stationary storage."
The amount of productive use before a set recharging as part of a routine understood. The count of expected recharges is understood over time. So the later commercial use is understood for productive power output and over time. The power output, charging needs can be predicted and factored in over time. Then recycling is offered.
So "Government Cloud Forum" mixes in "industry, government, law enforcement, customers and consumers" to sell or rent more "tools and services" back to governments.
So 'intelligence, platform and partnering broadly" is the monetized trap door and back doors sold on "another vendors" systems too?
Only then can govs can get the keys for "personal devices"?
How about just encryption for gov data so when all the fancy world facing networking and clouds fail the data copied out is a worthless honeypot. No more network facing plain text just waiting for anyone with a fast pipe and skills, just traps and tracking.
How did the USA gov do really good security?
Move the trusted staff to a secure gov site to work on the air gapped data. Data been networked all over the USA, in the private sector hands and other random low security sites will get unencrypted at so many stages just to help it move, be stored, get added to, updated or be sorted.
Why would the private sector need a full copy of a secure US gov database in plaintext on an open network? Profit and ideology vs the most basic security considerations?
Stop giving secret gov data in bulk to the private sector to unencrypt and work on.
Think back to the PRISM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... idea of advanced, gov friendly US cryptography.
The system will keep out random hospital workers, secretaries, dr's, nurses, visitors, 3rd party developers and will pass any state, federal, out side 3rd party tests that the data is totally secure after and during networking.
So the "genomic data" will be safe until the government copies it in a readable form for law enforcement needs. Law enforcement always has a warrant so access is always allowed as a design consideration.
What was once a gov only trap door or back door is now been rolled out in public for profit.
One way is a pre interview and after session chat down setting the person up for the next test and more one on one chats.
Some form of rapport-building is attempted to get the person to open up one on one as they are a "good" person and want to help 'pass' if they would just be honest about the issues, questions, past...
You where stressed today, try again, your a good person, everything is fine, just pass this test and its all good, I want to pass you, whats wrong..
Its not the machine, its the skill of the interview, looking at ISP logs for search terms on the test, credit card spending on books about the test, chat room, IM, phone records showing new calls to cleared friends or distant family who passed years ago for long conversations...
Walking in a profile has been constructed usually by searching the life and educational records of a person and their internet use, book buys..
Nations who looked at such trust in US systems saw two flaws in US faith based machine testing.
Good people would make mistakes on the day and be lost to the nation security services for that generation.
People with generations of working for a cult, other nation, faiths, having hidden "dual" citizenship, unacceptable political views would pass with normal results as they always feel they are doing nothing wrong. Control questions, questions or chat down its all just been a normal person who has the needed life story.
The security services then give a free pass for advancement thanks to faith in a machine for another generation.
Re "Are they publishing it because (1) they have something better, (2) they have figured out a way to beat it and hope we will use it, or (3) they were simply incompetent?"
Some options:
The US will race around and look back at all it old plans from the 1970-80's efforts and see if it can find a way information was overlooked. Often that induced frantic reach out can be more telling than any real product or news.
A kind of reverse Operation Merlin for the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... that has a nation rushing around trying to work out what the material in the press is.
The US might be tempted to look into China or ask the UK to help with any contacts in China. China will be waiting to see if anyone is approached:)
US stealthy material science looks good, sounds advanced in the media during wars, sells well to the press when confronting nations with no real modern SAM networks.
All China is doing is securing long term weapon system sales. Buy into advanced China ready systems now and be upgraded to advanced lower cost stealthy systems soon. Great for exports and local jobs.
If you had the cash as a nation huge systems that could work as early digital systems could be bought into from the private sector.

Thousands of low cost microprocessors still added up to great support contracts.
The power tools, garden tools, battery pack accessories market always likes the idea of more power, less recharge time at a site per interchangeable power pack. Cell phone users, dslr, led camera lights, small flash systems, camera slider systems used away from mains power might like more power, quicker for a creative project.
