[governance] Former FCC commissioner Michael Copps on The National Security-Communications Industry Complex

[Louis Pouzin (well)]

Michael Copps' article is indeed quite revealing on the FCC shadow role
dwarfed by collusion between big high-tech industry and USG intelligence
agencies. He mentions another article by Michael Hirsh, but the link is
wrong. A correct link is:
http://www.nationaljournal.com/magazine/how-america-s-top-tech-companies-created-the-surveillance-state-20130725

This latter article summarizes the evolution of the intelligence-industrial
complex, from WW II up to the present NSA almighty control. The story
exposes very well how NSA came to rely on top-tech industries by making
them intimate partners in developing and operating the worldwide spying
thing. The ending is somewhat muddy though. Is there any other future than
an orwellian albeit unsecure world ?
