I, like many with deep roots in communications beyond TCP/IP have known better for a long time. I was perusing some published documents of an ILEC that wants me to do some work (a mesos cluster no less). Then I ran across this document, by accident [1]. So now that my privacy of "phone records" has been wrestled from the hands of the NSA, and place with the Telco, conglomerates, boy why do I not feel safer? Congress has assured me that my personal data is now safe? "ICP" or Integrated Communications Provider is the jargon by which all attempts to keep our personal data, personal, are completely circumvented. Just read the patent, award makes not differnce, as these carrier databases have already been compile with numerous net data bases, so our privacy is already completely compromised. And folks in other countries, besides the good ole USA, your asses have been "owned" for even longer..... So I suggest we call have a shot or 2 of Tequila this weekend, get naked, and party like you've got nothing left to hide; cause you don't! cheers mate!
