i still don't understand. Should i put a bet (like €50), i can find an operator that closes such databases, or that you find an operator that doesn't?

I'm part of the mobile communication industry (while being in research) and part of my job is interacting with operators.

It's one thing to say "Oh yes, it's taken very seriously" when you have nothing riding on it.

It's another to pledge you will donate $100,000 to the FSF or whatever if data gets out in the next 5 years.

The first is worth nothing. The second claim is possible to have some weight.

The stuff gonna get hacked and we both know it. Why pretend otherwise?
