[FedCom] M/A Com in New Yourk

[lists]

Isn't there a bit of maintenance involved in keeping everyone's 
encryption up to date? The keys certainly rotate else the system isn't 
secure.

Part of the appeal of EDACS ProVoice is there are no scanners available 
to monitor it. I would imagine OpenSky is marketed the same way.

While using a digital system with encryption is probably the most 
secure, the feds seem happy with systems that have a huge energy barrier 
in monitoring. Nextel is a perfect example. Probably the only way the 
general public could monitor such systems is to buy a service monitor at 
some insane price.
