Re: Dont forget to look at the suppliers

As well as Alcatel there are other companies such as Thales which easily have the know-how ( definately on a military level ) to create and provide all the required equipment.

I believe that the DGSE are already well equiped from within.

The French even have their own equivalant off Echelon which some clod apptly named named "Frenchelon.... cough, cough"..
