I already pay my cellphone provider for Eavesdropping-as-a-Service. Plus my cellphone features location tracking and camera surveillance features that Echo hardware lacks.
IT departments used to maintain an array of modems. Employees would dial in from home, using their own modem. No internet required, just plain old telephone service.
This could work again.
Network applications, web applications, and server applications would rediscover frugality. Folks might rediscover Opera and its Show/Cached/No Images popup menu. Or lynx.
People with VoIP lines would be out of luck.
Where are the calculations that go with a calculated risk?
