now, that's a false dichotomy. As if the only options were to use the ARPANET or be 'isolated'. When in reality if you want true communication then the arpanet and all the rest of garbage produced by US technofascists is useless, or even counterproductive.
not to put too fine a point on it, but the SS7 telephone network is different from (but equally compromised as) the Internet. radio point to point links, while avoiding a trusted third party, are still just as much an RF emanation privacy risk as a standard cell phone. maybe free space optics with narrow fresnel zone makes the most work for Eves' everywhere? regardless of technology - the point stands: communications technologies are flawed, so protect what you can and mitigate what you can't. and of course, physical and operational security are key components - those aren't communications technologies, but secure communication demands them. best regards,
