What if there was a war and no one noticed?
Shortly after our freedom in 1994, cellular telephones using the GSM standard began making their way to our shores.
We soon found ourselves being able to travel the world and still remain accessible on the same phone number thanks to roaming – except for in the USA.
The reason for this was simple: the GSM standard as originally introduced was secure communication. In other words, you could conduct a conversation without your phone being tapped.
