There it is yet again: "anytime, anywhere", and "UKUSA".

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Netscape and other companies
--- the U.S. is a world leading producer of software technology --- are
having their products outlawed for world-wide distribution because of
ECHELON.

Ubiquitous full-strength crypto --- in all our email products and web
browsers --- would immediately begin to lessen ECHELON's ability to
spy in such a massive dragnet fashion.

There is an ugly implication to ECHELON being the reason Netscape and company
are being held hostage by the NSA.
