A flaw in the old Cell phone tower protocols from the 1980s can allow interception of your calls and texts. . . Discoverers claim that encryption doesn't matter. I find that difficult to believe. — PING!

It sounds to me more like they're blithely saying "Oh we'll decrypt that later" without demonstrating, or even explicitly stating, that they have any way to decrypt it.

So the encryption matters, and they're not denying it. They're just saying that in time they hope to be able to decrypt it.
