Does one of the issues the Department is dealing with as part of this strategy relate to other countries and other states that are tapping into Internet cables and are able to intercept messages between the Government in this country and governments in other countries, or between business leaders in this country and business leaders in other countries? There has been a lot of evidence of this over the years, not from far-flung countries but from countries that are close enough to us. Will this form part of the strategy?
