Anyone know yet if they've they said who would have to pay for it, and what they specifically mean by "broadband Internet providers"? scottPay for it? If I remember from CALEA, the providers pay for it (and eventually their customers), and as for "broadband Internet providers"... I'm guessing anyone who offers end user customers a circuit bigger than 53.333k. I admit to having some sympathy for the FBI... they're in the middle of getting ripped up, down and sideways over failures over Sept 11 and other things, and yet when they ask for more surveilance capabilities, they get ripped up, down and sideways for asking...
they don't need more surveillance capabilities as much as they need to better utilize what they've already got. More laws aren't the answer to lack of success enforcing what's already on the books. -- Scott Francis | darkuncle(at)darkuncle(dot)net | 0x5537F527 The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools. -- Herbert Spencer
