These are all still using GSM, which doesn't authenticate the network right? I really wish I could disable GSM on the iPhone like I could on my Android - none of the networks I regularly use have usable GSM networks. It's a waste of battery and a wide open security hole. Plain old classic GSM needs to die. Bring on the UMTS/LTE future.

There are a smattering of media reports saying that they can attack LTE (the new system or upgrade is called "Hailstorm").
They are pretty thin though:
