Somehow this idea sticks now around for a few years now. I think I first read about it 2 years ago.

This is just a typical example of a decision making process involving too many parties.

I think the Internet should be ruled by one person who is not interested in ruling of the Internet at all.

Douglas Adams had the idea for the whole galaxy so this should also work for the Internet.

BlackBerry PhoneSnoop Application Used to Spy on Users
added October 27, 2009 at 11:59 am

US-CERT is aware of public reports of a new software application called PhoneSnoop. This software allows an attacker to call a user’s BlackBerry and listen to personal conversations. In order to install and setup the PhoneSnoop application, attackers must have physical access to the user’s device or convince a user to install PhoneSnoop.

US-CERT encourages users to only download BlackBerry applications from trusted sources and to password protect and lock BlackBerry devices.
