Ensure that your DHCP, RADIUS, SMTP, and other logs are always, ALWAYS, *ALWAYS* rolled over and deleted within 7 days without backup. I'd recommend 3 days, but operational requirements vary.Assuming you're actually serious, how do you deal with customers who dispute usage one or more months ago (when they get their bill)?
We've never charged on a "usage" model. We always charged on a fixed tier bandwidth model, payable in advance. Remember, ISPs surpassed bloated telcos in large part because half of telco's inflated costs were for accounting and administration. A long fight with ATT in standards committees was because ATT made 40% or more of their money on minute by minute billed long-distance fax.... That we made available inexpensively, fixed price, email, etc. We are much more efficient! Unfortunately, as Sean mentioned, CALEA assumes everybody looks like a vertically integrated telco.
