There isn't any such 'heavy conflict'. And if you look at shitbags like apple, microsoft, google and the like you'll clearly see that 'crypto' is not an 'essential foundation' for them at all. Whereas their relationship to the US government is certainly 'foundational' Furthermore, it's possible for the IT mafia to sabotage security to a great extent with no real consequences. What, evil hackers are going to steal joe six pack's pirated mp3s and porn? That's a serious security threat. Or maybe the terrists will destroy the world by hacking i-turds and hotmail? Such dire threats to 'national security' eh. bottom line : this year's marketing campaign for retarded phones for retarded 'customers' is getting REALLY annoying.
(others being features, price, usability, apps, brand, quality, etc). ie: Previously known govt activities were relagated to tax / structure / employment / trade / safety regulation etc which didn't directly impact users.
Too bad corps were just starting to recognize advertise and capitilize on the crypto relationship, with market / user awareness results starting to develop.
Which is why Apple must win and be given every possible support from everyone in doing so... to reject clipper v2 forever.
