ROFLMAO! Such a funny article...

"I shall now state the bleeding obvious.." ...

What he fails to point out is that

a) some people don;t care if someone can listen in. the fact that they can
phone a friend in Australia from the USA for no cost at all is more
important
b) The fact that his 'buddy' clearly doesn;t want to be associated with his
article speaks volumes.
c) If you leave the door open to your house don't be suprised if someone
walks in.. lock you doors, and your network (and don't blame the door maker)
d) Errm The internet, you know, the *public* internet? you know that thing
that everyone(1) from anywhere can get on.. jeez,
e) If you want encrypted point to point communications then encrypt point to
point.
f) All the people he spoke to were um, selling stuff... buy our solution
it's much more secure than his.. and a marketing guy? what a great resource.
g) Mobile calls aren;t secure, neither are analog calls - They use 900mhz
wireless phones in the US too don't they?
h) SIP isn't the only protocol available.
i) No-one understands me anyway
j) DOS attacks are part of life, that's why if you business depends on it
you use multiple providers with different routes.



(1) with obvious exceptions
