So, could be a bit more critical about the quality and quantity of "insecure devices"? It isn't that large populations of not-so-well reputed OSes being abused for "something" were a new phenomenon. Admitted, numbers were smaller those days, but so was the infrastructure. Not neglecting the issue, but sceptical of knee-jerk policy making and too loud calls for regulations that remind me of the constrained (from the customers perspective) telco networks of 30+ years ago. Late victories ... -Peter
