Hi Blue,

No one (which includes me) is saying NSA is the only obstacle to Wave's progress.

There are several plausible obstacles. I've been pointing them out for ages. You have too. eg in mobile, "some" argued with much of Wavedom that the MNOs (aka the carriers) were a major stumbling block to TC adoption because the current bottleneck serves them well. SS recently admitted the same thing. [scuse the faux "some"]

And the NSA represents a TCG environment issue more than a Wave-specific one. I think any government adoptions are likely to be parked in neutral until the post-Snowden top-down policy review is complete. The review may work in favour of TC if a decision is taken to strengthen permissioning and to tether sensitive data to devices. But until it is done, I don't expect any immediate orders from USG.

Finally, as Wave is a US "trusted" software provider, and US providers have been thoroughly tainted by the NSA's influence, and the development of TCG at least gives the appearance of NSA involvement, it's going to be hard to make a breakthrough outside the US for a while.

So I see things differently from you and waveduke. I'm fine with you disagreeing with me. But I'm comfortable with my own rationale at present.
