User control

User control
The phone needs to be under control of the user, and the free software he uses
Even backdoors or rogue GSM firmware shall not be able to intrude the privacy fo the user
So we e.g. put the Audio codec (under explicit control from the Linux-running AP) between microphone/speaker and the GSM modem
So we enable the Linux-running AP to cut power of the GSM modem
Thus, free software (and thus the user) remains in ultimate control
