Technical users could always just flash DD-WRT onto the device and = replace the Linksys/Cisco firmware; then you have a much more robust = system without any big brother stuff.Or Cisco could just omit the big brother stuff. This is not a technological failure. In fact, automatic updates of router firmware are overdue. Good job on that front. It is the implications of your router dictating to you what sort of uses might be acceptable and what is not that's troubling, and that seems to have happened on several levels in this product. ...

This is what has me thinking about shorting Cisco stock. When the legal implications of this hit the FCC <http://www.fcc.gov/>, EFF<http://www.eff.org>, or here in Canada the CRTC <http://www.crtc.gc.ca>, the shouts will begin. This breaks all sorts of regulations about privacy and I'm sure a few other product sales laws in the different countries where the products are sold. Interesting times we live in.... cheers Jeff
