I don't trust this, I think this a way to control the mass. If "hackers" could hack the towers, than the regulators come with a new law to get more control of people in sake of "national security".
Make people afraid and you can control them... But that's my opinion.

So you can jailbreak an iPhone and get direct access to L3 to run a DOS? That would be very interesting if it were true, but I suspect it's just horseshit put in there to deceive the court, which isn't hard to do in technology cases.
I don't think its that easy (if it would be, why not modify the TSM30 instead which should be much easier). I just found it very interesting that Apple uses it as an argument. Of course such arguments are also bad for opening the phone GSM stack to a larger group of people (if this ever happens) or developing an open source GSM phone stack which could be used for anything else than research.
