The instances where a company does business with a government are not that uncommon. It is kind of stepping outside the pure commercial domain into being partly a public sector entity/institution. Considering the stakes of public information security (or even that of national defense), I come to think that this kind of deal should become one of governments' concerns in every country and should become an institutionalized part of their public service like police (or a government body like the information agency) and be funded openly by governments themselves.
