 - Why should I (or anyone, or any company) trust my 
sensitive data to the hands of my ISP? What if, say, one
works in a company that have sites around the World and 
needs to share information (e.g. in form of encrypted 
e-mails) within these sites. Should the company trust all
ISPs in all countries it has sites? Also those in countries 
like, say, Iraq/N.Korea etc.? What about the human rights 
activists in those countries? Should they trust their ISPs
(that can be government owned/controlled) too? 

 - What if I'm sending sensitive information within a LAN?
(I.e., there's no ISP between sender and receiver). Without
end-to-end encryption everyone with access (at least) to that 
segment and bit of knowledge could read my data at will... 

 Just my own views...
