cell phone hacking

Why are cell phone unlock keys and keygen algorithms still being sold?
I understand there is a great profit motive to guard the secret, since with this ruling, unlocking has become a legal profession (for at least the next three years), unlike warez cracking.
But come on, somebody must have an itch to set the information free, no?

    I once toured a company in Cambridge called Vanu, Inc., that sells software-defined radio products, and they had a metal box with one of those tuners that could listen in on all the commercial cell phone traffic and make and receive calls on the networks. I vaguely recall there is some kind of encryption of the voice traffic, but it is pretty weak, I think. I also remember this was a very expensive device — military-grade. That’s all I know.
