CTIA Files Comments Opposing Proposed Wiretap Rules

The wireless industry was joined by the ISP CALEA Coalition in
opposing a proposal by the Justice Department, Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration urging the
FCC to adopt new wiretap rules for emerging Internet telephony and
communications services using high-speed Internet connections. The
proposal calls for new rules that would require government approval
of all new technologies before they can go to market. In a filing
with the Federal Communications Commission, CTIA argued the
proposal would abandon the careful safeguards Congress put in place
in the 1994 wiretap law. The ISP CALEA Coalition echoed CTIA's
concerns: "This astonishing proposal would cripple innovation on
the Internet, quite probably ensuring that new services would
always be implemented outside the United States and well beyond the
reach of this new regulatory regime."
