Sorry, which GSM code would this be? Because I distinctly remember being
at a party years ago where the GSM code (some weak variant of A5) was
shown to be weak and hackable.  This was back in 1998...

From the article, it looks like the algorithm hacked by the Israelis is
the next generation perhaps?
