Inman was surprised by the looming introduction of VoicePGP, and said that that would be a big problem
I like the sound of this.
I've always assumed that the excitement behind the Digital Telephony bill was to go after VoicePGP. My prediction is that the Internet alone is legal but the Internet plus VoicePGP can't be deployed without someone building in the wiretaps for the government. Since no one owns the Internet and no one can add the wiretap ability, then the Internet + VoicePGP will be verboten. Since they can't very well ban the Internet, they'll just ban using VoicePGP on public networks. But, you'll be free to use it in the privacy of your own home. That's my latest paranoid thought. -Peter
