US ISPs SLAM INTO WIRETAP DEADLINE
[SOURCE: InfoWorld, AUTHOR: Stephen Lawson, IDG News Service]
U.S. broadband and VOIP providers on Monday hit a deadline to prove they could
accommodate law-enforcement wiretaps. The Federal Communications Commission in
2005 required broadband Internet service providers (ISPs) and VOIP (voice over
Internet Protocol) carriers that connect to the public telephone network to
comply with a wiretap access law. Under the Communications Assistance for Law
Enforcement Act (CALEA), service providers have to prove they're equipped for
investigators to carry out the equivalent of a traditional wiretap. The
broadband and VOIP providers had to send the FCC by March 12 a plan to comply
with CALEA, and by Monday they had to either set up a system that allows
monitoring or hire an outside company to make it possible. Those that don't
comply must make a good-faith effort to do so and may be referred for
enforcement.
