Article:
If governments don’t come round, though, Silent Circle’s solution is simple: The team will close up shop and move to a jurisdiction that won’t try to force them to comply with surveillance.

 
Only problem is, Apple can remove apps from their store regardless of the jurisdiction you're in.

It's not groundbreaking; one could always set up a SIP server over OpenVPN (wouldn't even cost anything with an OpenWRT or DD-WRT compatible router), and install an OpenVPN cliet and a SIP softphone app, or roll a softphone app using [insert kickass encryption library here] and SIP/SDP/SRTP compatible library like PJSIP[^]
 
Silent Circle just makes this technology available to mass consumption in a more convenient way, so I don't see any reason to ban it.
