The funny thing about the broken watch is that it is more exact than any other watch. It is, after all, perfectly accurate twice a day, however perfect running clock - is not.
I am deeply sorry Mr. Pinkston has been missed out when they were giving out brains. It is obvious, since he did not understand when joining the Police that ending on a memorial wall is an occupational hazard there, and the easiest way to avoid it is - work somewhere else. The same goes with dislike to follow laws and orders. But, as I said, Mr. Pinkston has obviously NOT been gifted with brains...
All I am trying to say is that there are sensible reasons for the cooperation to be kept secret, for Cisco's sake. Interception limits the sources of disclosure and makes plausible deniability possible. I would not expect such an idea to come from NSA, as they do not have to care for Cisco's business; but it looks sensible to me for Cisco to employ it to protect itself. In case of forced cooperation this is what I would do.
Interception would be needed even if Cisco worked with NSA. First, because NSA would like to keep it secret as they already have some problems with their own employees sharing too much. So they would like to keep the number of informed people low and it's much easier to have one mole tipping you off, than to hide whole NSA-cooperation department somewhere down your production line. And second - so that Cisco would be able to plausibly deny any involvement.
"A large enough market with enough churn can keep a lot of abuses going for a surprisingly long time."
That is, sadly, true. Still - once screwed like that you'd rather not return. So it will not be a returning business, and as the pool of potential clients diminishes - so would their business. The story is big, so there will be just a few clueless noobs there.
As to the uninformed suckers - they'll have what they want for being uninformed suckers. No sympathy here...
The situation is like selling drinking water in time of, say, flood. Yes, you can ask for $10, $20, even $100 per bottle, and you will get it. After all - should you deserve vilification for not providing it for free? It might even be a recurring business. At least as long as the flood lasts.
Very. Like - take IQ of 4 persons: 90, 90, 90, 130. Average is 100. And of course half of them are below average, right? Or is it that someone is lousy at statistics?

Just wondering, how this one would look like after transformation. My bet? Not that different...

Fro the consideration of Mr. Pinkston

Re: Re: Here goes the EU market.
You might be right.
Anyway, "Nothing to see here, please, disperse".
Here goes the EU market.
Apparently the sales estimates came in and the bottom line is hurt big time.

"Kiss Trust" Goodbye...
Just apply the Streisand effect
Say "We are sorry but this is video is blocked in Germany, because THEY requested us to block it". GEMA not even mentioned.
Statistics is far to complicated...

For rich westerners...
And that is why in Germany 10g of Aspirin made by Bayer is 4.50? and the same made by some no-name in UK - ?0.59.
