That, and the definition of ISP, are still a bit fuzzy... [EMAIL PROTECTED], for instance, has had a LOT of chatter about that, but WISPA's staff attorney believes that small wireless ISPs are required to be CALEA-compliant. (WISPA is a trade association for wireless ISPs.) If small ISPs have to be compliant, it's probably safe to assume big ISPs are too. :) http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ is the list archive - there's a lot of noise in there, but a fair amount of signal (start in February 2007 or so, and work your way up). There's also forms you're apparently supposed to fill out (FCC Form 445, and a CALEA compliance plan due next week). As always your friendly attorney knows better than I do. David Smith MVN.net
