However, what we're hearing may be a good thing. For one thing, while there's little defending the telcos that played ball, the bigger issue has to be the government agencies driving the domestic spying programs. These revelations seem likely to cast a lot of light on those folks, and that's a very good thing. Second, that light will hopefully lead to some policy revisions that will make future collaborationism by corps like Verizon less likely. Assuming there's a party in Washington that opposes Big Brotherism.... Yeah, this is amazing. However, what we’re hearing may be a good thing.
