For HTTPS traffic regarding explicitly "private communications" under current law it is illegal, and certainly banks or any company transmitting reserved information will react badly. Nokia is taking full legal responsibility for acting willfully and WITHOUT explicit customer's consent /disclosure of their actions ... translated I smell COLOSSAL lawsuit areas here....

Comment COTS vs. BUILD (Score 1) 325

I have never seen a real ! major COTS "customization" project either: 1. be on time for delivery 2. cost what the "big name firm" analysts said it would 3. be actually doing what was advertised 4. and finally be actually stable-serviceable-extensible at least not in 15yrs experience in designing sw for mostly for Telcos. Generally mgmnt hides behind the "COTS=less risk" factor and at the same time COMPLETELY IGNORES the tech staff's reccomendations, generally this produces far more deployement disasters than any custom development (at least in the tlc world, especially in GSM-UMTS)
