It is worth reading in
full these attempts to close the space… (from The Guiardian, UK):

In summary: 
«Vodafone, one of
the world's largest mobile phone groups, has revealed the existence of secret
wires that allow government agencies to listen to all conversations on its
networks, saying they are
widely used in some of the 29 countries in which it operates in Europe and
beyond.

The company has broken its silence on government
surveillance in order to push back against the increasingly widespread use of
phone and broadband networks to spy on citizens, and will publish its first Law
Enforcement Disclosure Report on Friday. At 40,000 words, it is the most
comprehensive survey yet of how governments monitor the conversations and
whereabouts of their people.»
