> A trusted network is fine, but are the telephone networks trusted?
In the old days there was an assumption that if you were in the network then you were trusted, which was always dicey but made more sense when Ma Bell controlled everything tightly. Since the monopoly breakup that model was no longer true, and many problems can trace back to the nature of back patching security onto an entirely different model that no longer fits reality.
