I'm having a nightmare about a Microsoft-like domination of global communications, complete with SPA police, etc. ................................. Unlike the government, Microsoft and McCaw Cellular both depend upon a customer-driven market for their acceptance. They must convince their customers that they are better than the competition in providing a similar service; they must adjust this service to the customer's requests & preferences or lose the account.

in response to the post about the joe-six-pack worry level if they get clipper int he phone next they will have it in the fax's the TV is next, seeing that most of it in 10 years will go over smart lines to give you more choices, there was a 10,000 home test in broklyn just last year, the NSA and other agencies won't give up the opptunity to easily, in fact they might just go around " those dumb congressmen" if the chip and the means to make it are banded by law. my financee who hearing me talk about this list, and hte clipper has gone out and told others in a laymens term,, " hey did you know the gov't is trying to put a chip in all new fones that could make it possible for hte police to just listen in on your talks to others. just by pressing a few keys" though it is not to acurate, it gets the point across to joe and jill making them wonder at what they are saying and who might be listening.. wonder what it all will bring in 20 years?? charles the monster maker

Seminole, Fl 34642 Phone 813.393.6600 Fax 813.393.6361 The managing editor is none other than computer security professional, privacy advocate, and author of TERMINAL COMPROMISE, Winn Schwartau. Winn is a highly sought after lecturer on computer security matters, and is notorious for "Inside" contacts. It is said the NSA scoured it's ranks after TERMINAL COMPROMISE came out. T.C. was released as the first Internet novel (its in softcover as well) and should be widely available. He is supposed to be a releasing a new book soon (it may already be out) titled INFORMATION WARFARE.

in response to rishab(a)dxm.ernet.in about jeo-six-pack and the general public those folks, are the ones that could make an outcry that would bring to light the NSA trying to hoodwink us all. though they might not have much power as individuals, take any group in mass, and you get power might not be a controlable power, but that is what you got. i would rather inform as many people about the things i read on this list as just set at home and say, "don 't bother they'll never understand it"" apathy of any kind can kill you and will stunt your creative growth. charles the monster maker

Parker on Clipper

In the 21-Mar-94 issue of Computerworld p.4 the following statment is attributed to Donn Parker of SRI, "We have to make strong, nonescrow encryption a crime". I do not remember Parker making a statement like this previously, is this a new position for Parker or is my memory going bad? Fred
