You are confusing the company (Echelon telco) with the code
name for a global surveillance operation. Normally, a company would
have trademark issues with choosing a name that is already taken.
However, the Eschelon surveillance operation isn't a company, so
there's no conflict - at least with respect to trademark.
Anybody want to start a "war chalking" club called "Wells
Fargo"?? <grin>
