Also these guys are talking about GSM voice, which is a lot weaker and doesn't support stuff like SSH, which your company can use with a wireless card to increase security. Don't worry, it's still a ways off before we the general public need to be bothered, and by then there'll be new security. Remember the whole big deal about bluejacking?

Their R&D must've found this is still less likely to be successfully cracked than secure wifi. Just an interesting thought...
