yes, this is very likely. This is why it is very important how we communicate
our work and its result to the public. I actually wnat to build an
operational GSM network and an operational GSM mobile phone from open source
components. We can show that our work is constructive, that we actually
have useful results. Doing nothing else but implementing open specifications
in open source software. And among other things, this can be used for security
research and to make more engineers familiar with practical aspects of GSM
protocols.
