There is certainly little additional cost to building a trully secure digital cordless phone given the dense ASIC technology that is standard in this kind of product - but someone has to persuade the manufacturers that there is a real need and find a way to allow them to export the product.

Is there actually a restriction on the export of really-fast frequency-hopping radios, even those (like cordless phones) which have no clear military value?

The ITARs restrict the export of any radio which hops faster than one frequency per second. (Or ten seconds if it hops between more than 8 bands.) See ITAR XIII.b.1.iii.C (ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/export/itar.in.full) -- "It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once." -Hume
