I happened to be talking to a friend who works for a Very Large International Corporation. He has just been put in charge of managing their new products division. First on the list is whether and how to become a value added reseller of digital telephones and/or digital telephone services in Europe and evetually worldwide. They would probably include some financial/transactional services as part of the package. He is pro-encryption, but not well informed. What should he insist the telephones have in the way of features? What should he read? He is not an engineer (he used to be a salesman...) but he's smart. I will summarize emailed replies to the list.
