Wow they really need to redesign the layout on that page. It took me about a minute and a half to realize that this was more than just a blog post about echelon.
The actual files are on the left, in that ~100px wide container.
Here are some brochures from companies that do this stuff:

(The 3G thing is the only part of this that is really surprising. Intercepting wifi isn't really that impressive)
Here is a pricelist of some tech that is, I guess, being sold in Europe:

(Honestly none of this seems very...leaky. Isn't most of this fairly common knowledge to anybody who even reads about hacker conferences?)
- TDL 15y agoIt could be that this is an attempt to consolidate that information and push it towards a mass audience. I haven't read any of the files, so I have no idea what they contain.
- DasIch 15y agoThose companies don't exactly advertise to everyone nor do they want to. Even if some people were aware of this before I doubt that most were truly aware of the scale. Even so, if all this does is raise awareness among the average (news watching) people this has already been worthwhile.

- guimarin 15y agothis is more about thin-thread than it is about echelon. echelon and 'echelon II' haven't been used since before 9.11.2001.
