We had a couple of cities want a franchise. One backed down after a week or two, while the other took over a year, then backed down.

As long as you don't plan on doing linear TV, you don't need a franchise, therefore if you pay into the state telecom tax fund (on voice revenues), you can build in the public ROW and easements and do so at no permit cost. Now the easement or ROW has to allow for telecom. A lot of the rural ones only allow for a road, so then you have to get your own easement anyway. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: ch...@go-mtc.com To: "Mike Hammett" <af...@ics-il.net>, "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <af@af.afmug.com> Sent: Monday, March 18, 2024 12:05:26 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] CALEA and WiFi The more important detail is that we are regulated as carriers. That is helpful to point out for ROW and easement occupancy.

That order was affirmed and further clarified by the Second Report and Order, dated May 2006. On May 5, 2006, a group of higher education and library organizations led by the American Council on Education (ACE) challenged that ruling, arguing that CALEA did not apply to them. On June 9, 2006, the D.C. Circuit Court summarily denied the petition without addressing the constitutionality.

If you provide WiFi in a public space how do you handle compliance? We have parks, airports, and other public spaces with managed WiFi. There are also MDU’s with WiFi in a public area like a courtyard, lounge, lobby, etc. My understanding is you have to be able to capture traffic if you’re ordered to do so. Do you also have to be able to identify the individual? If they ever asked me to capture all traffic from the park WiFi….sure no problem. If they gave me a particular IP, port, and time, and they wanted me to start capturing traffic AND identify who it was, then I would only be able to tell them it was someone at the park. At best I could give them a MAC address and hostname. If I have to identify the customer that’s easy: the municipal parks department, but I’m guessing that’s not what they will want to know.
