rot, apparently you think ss is referring to the past when talking about the issue with vendors.

"The only way we can wrestle control back from Verizon is through a requirement placed on the environment by a player strong enough to do that," he says. "The only player -- emphasis on the word 'only' -- is the U.S. federal space."

odd use of tenses, eh!

surely we both know you are trying to preserve your theory at the expense of reflecting ss' commentary. let the facts conform to the theory! make sure the dreamer's dream remains intact.

the obvious interpretation of ss' actual words is that he sees carriers controlling the TPM at source and hopes, in the future, to recover control from them. but his only hope is that the federal government demands it.

me too. except there's no real hope for consumers. only large enterprises may have a chance.

it isn't trusted computing when the carrier or the vendor controls the chip and the device. it's a monster that offers no freedom and no privacy.
