Bluetooth and Crippling
First slice would be the lawyers. There has been a lot of chatter about bluesnarfing and bluejacking, and taking over phones, turning them into spam or virus platforms, etc. If I was verizon or another carrier's legal team and I saw this, I would imaging that the first person to be sued if Paris Hilton's address book was hijacked and sold on ebay would be Verizon. Not the guy who stole it or the kid who wrote the virus, but the carrier. Deep pockets. Sy SIMS used to say "an Educated Consumer is our best customer". Thanks to frivolous lawsuits it isn't necessary to be educated, or protect ourselves. WIRED had a nice, paranoid report on it here: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.12/phreakers.html
