Andy, I've always wondered this as well. Similar scenario, although not necessarily egress in a foreign country, but transiting through. For a brief period, we had an OC48 that carried packets on our network between Chicago and Seattle that traversed a router of ours in Vancouver, BC Canada. Any legal minds here that may know the answer? Randy

What (if any) are the legal implications of taking internet destined traffic in one country and egressing it in another (with an ip block correctly marked for the correct country). Somebody mentioned to me the other day that they thought the Dutch government didn't allow an ISP to take internet traffic from a Dutch citizen and egress in another country because it makes it easy for the local country to snoop. I've done lots of searching and have our legal council investigating but I thought someone here might be able to point me in the direction of any legislation? (I'll summarise any off-list replies)...
