Cities and states are already helping with the next gen of contractors via networked street lights.

Add in a smart meter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... with a rapid communications setting.
Then you have your tame game console with "webcam" from bands who love to help all govs over all product lines.
As for Network Frequency Analysis, it sounds like something others have hinted at from the TEMPEST generations.

When the military wants a jock they hint at parachutes, skiing, diverse sporty conditions globally for free with advanced tech.
When the military wants a nerd they hint at seeing the world, a safe lab coat with neat tech, a good starting wage and the academic freedom for free further education.
Hinting you will be working on open source OS or securing banking codes might be some good news to have floating around too.
Anyone on a list can/will be turned just before arrest.
The other eye nations are trusted to watch their own people based on generations of US and UK methods using US funded equipment.
The staff in the Eyes nations will share all with the USA by default over generations by default.
Local staff are not selected, advanced, cleared and trained until they are ready for projects of that scale and the sharing with 5+ other nations.
Its a big step to give away all your nations secrets for free every decade to 5+ other competing nations.
Shared sites are costly to run for the US and why waste time on duplication of material?
The locals get the same product from all networks in their county and can look deep into their region for as a thank you.
Thats the cover story. Reality might be that the tasks flow down to a site and the product flows back. The locals ensure the hardware and software is in place 24/7.

So a person codes in the freedom of their basement, free time and uploads quality code to the world for free.
Slowly self radicalizing? A cult like mascot and forming deeper emotional links to incompatible European views on intellectual property.
At university? Talks to the press? Goes to European Open Source conferences?
Would that make any code contributor a freedom fighter to be watched?
Thats a lot of new funding for some gov or mil budget and a flood of new informants to turn.
Does they live in a state with a farm? Tack on some nice Ag-gag findings. (agricultural anti-whistleblower laws, gag: prevent speech) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
State got a mil base, site, camp? Pass the details onto base security.
Yes, considering all the help fusion centers offered, tame banks, tame telcos, tame software developers, lack of peer review, the number of informants working on software projects, the number of informants working to find ways into software, tame AV vs keyloggers, tame telco software vs your keystrokes, sneak and peek letters.
Anything 'consumer' digital is a huge trap. From development, your input, encoding, transmission, decoding, display - so many layers and very tame access.
With sneak and peek letters why would the data recovered be kept in the country of origin: USA, Canada, UK could just swap the results found up to their respective security services and swap plain text back to each other - parallel construction.
No FIOA, nothing in the case file, no law reformers, no press, no legal teams to links to another country:)
Other nations may try to keep 5+ other countries out of a networked product as delivered.
Re "What?"
Recall:
"Microsoft handed the NSA access to encrypted messages" (12 July 2013) http://www.theguardian.com/wor...
Outlook.com encryption unlocked even before official launch
"...collaborated closely with US intelligence services to allow users' communications to be intercepted, including helping the National Security Agency to circumvent the company's own encryption, according to top-secret documents obtained by the Guardian."
Would any government really want its new imported computer system be a "team sport" for a few other nations spies?
Re "Chances are they will try to wriggle out of it on some other grounds, rather than mount a defence."
Thats the classic way.
The UK gov will take any cleared staff or past cleared staff, press, academics to court, expose some aspect of their lives to a tame, friendly press then just drop the case.
The UK gov will have not confirmed any material in open court but ensured any further statements by cleared staff or past cleared staff, press, academics will be seen along side the new spin.
Sealed courts do not play well with the press and act as total conformation.
"Ten years ago, a young Mandarin specialist at GCHQ, the government's surveillance centre in Cheltenham, did something extraordinary. Katharine Gun, a shy and studious 28-year-old who spent her days listening in to obscure Chinese intercepts, decided to tell the world about a secret plan by the US government to spy on the United Nations."

The Government Code and Cypher School had known origins in 1919.
Government Communications Headquarters seems to have been cover for Bletchley Park in 1939 along with terms like BP, Station X. Even GC&CS was used as a cover name for the GCHQ.
It hurts the cool Cool Britannia image so carefully cultivated. Within the UK establishment exists a diverse set of feelings on helping the NSA with nothing positive to show for it long term.
The UK knows the USA can turn off the shared sites over any military or political issues at any time. The US has only agreed to share its methods and hardware for UK sites. That gives the no UK leverage if it really faces a conflict the USA has no interest in or wants a different outcome - Falkland, Diego Garcia.
Deep down the smarter people in the UK know the US has and will turn off the global US supplied information flow and the UK is then left lost in a very complex world.
So different factions in the UK gov want more UK only methods, less sharing and better exports from the UK to the world without always stopping due to US foreign policy.
UK staff at shared sites are serving two masters long term and over time the UK gov knows they cannot function if the US says no.
Events like this give a few very smart people in the UK gov and mil the option to reshape the total UK dependance on the US.
It could end up like the Zircon affair http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z... with a former employee of the GCHQ and four unnamed defence officials in the UK press.
Once the information had spread to the public, further feeding a political crisis by going to court was seen as unproductive by the UK gov.
Re "They still had to study the work of others who pioneered it, based on military funding."
The UK tried that with Skynet (satellite) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... They had to use U.S. assets and that was very interesting for the UK during the Falklands War.
They studied hard and ensured they fully understood every aspect of basic satellite lunch systems domestically before moving to the next stage.
Other nations used military funding, the private sector, other governments and imports to try and boost their own domestic projects.
So many failed as the cash needed never could make up for what India fully understood from the 1960's: its about not getting ahead of your own domestic science.
Now India can enjoy lower cost launch systems without needing any other nations help, costly imports or permission.
"Indian Space Research Organisation" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Re 'Isn't it already their option?"
Not with complex trade deals demanding equal consideration to fully imported systems. The reality that a product line is open to 5+ other nations security services is not really allowed to stop consideration early.
Its the old crypto hardware trick. You can look at all the messages as sent you like. Its encryption perfection for that decade/generation.
The plain text is from the tempest (emission security) friendly keyboard.
The only magic is getting your gov to buy the system and then use it for years:)
ie buying the system is the way in. Every trapdoor and backdoor is crafted around what the buyer might be aware of.
re Where's the proof that the source code you see is exactly the same as that which gets compiled to make the Windows you buy?
Your experts compile/test the code as they wish over time at the site. The end result is then known.
A magic number is then produced as to the tested product on site. The application/suit as shipped then matches that same end test numbers.
ie the applications do not have ~extra code added.
At least then its your own countries option. No colonial box or product to buy, then rent support for and beg for fixes.
A domestic IT project at least offers your best experts to set standards and review the code.
Other nations do not all fail at complex math, code, design or funding.
Other nations may try to keep 5+ other countries out of a networked product as delivered.
As plain text on a US branded OS at the end of the fancy new encryption.
With all the legal obligations in the telco sector all products have to be wiretap-friendly.
CALEA obligations should be very clear to the rest of the world by now. The options presented under CISPA should have been noted too.
Your email, video chat, text, chat will end up as a neat industry standard format for law enforcement use. There will be no going dark on any US product shipped.
"FBI: We need wiretap-ready Web sites - now" (5 May 2012) http://www.cnet.com/au/news/fb...
Russia does not have the luxury of wide open boarders or just accepting a vast culture of drink, lyrics, drugs, health issues, poor quality food and a trade in neon colored laundry liquids.
The Russian idea is to educate as many of its own people to a good average level and then sort out the best for further top quality higher education.
Russia does not have the option to focus on the top 10% of its best people and letting the bottom 90% drop out into slums.
Russia seeks to teach its own people: arts, culture, classical music, math, physics, biology, history, languages with less input from a distracting imported culture pushing drink and drugs.
Will it work? A few decades of university graduates after the 1990's might give a hint.
