>They will, eventually, be shut out of the communications channel entirely due to encryption.
That's not entirely accurate though. Its an arms race between Cryptography and Cryptanalysis. We don't know what we don't know and there's still not enough transparency into the government's capabilities.
Fair. Realistically though they'll be shut out without company cooperation. As computing power and techniques improve both being able to use and break encryption will increase but breaking encryption, just because of how it works, always takes more power than the creation.
