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.
