2007-02-22 Thread George Rogato

How would anyone know who has who for a customer anyways?

In past situations we've been in, it starts with a request for information.

Who is this IP?

If they asked my upstream, my upstream could ask me.
Or they could ask me a particular persons ip, if they somehow knew the 
name to begin with.


Not sure if it is viable, but it would be an easy solution for some 
small isp's.


I just want to know how they going to figure out free open hotspots...

That was an excellent  thing to do Marlon.
Big pat on the back :)

I would hate to be the person that believes they don't have to file 
because of a post on a list.
The only way I would NOT file something is if my attorney who I knew 
had direct contact with their attorney(s) told me he received in 
writing an opinion that we did not have to file.


if the attorney I used a couple months ago on a contract thing told me 
I didn't have to file, I wouldn't believe him.


It's too serious and the fines are just too stiff.

Very scary stuff.

But I would like the group that goes to DC this next trip to 
specifically ask:


If an ISP hands out static Public IP's to every customer and his 
upstream is calea compliant, is he covered, assuming no voip is involved.

Anyway, the word from the top is that if you are a facilities base

FCC.


I'll let folks know more when I know more.

Hi Marlon,

First, sorry I missed your folks last week.  Unfortunately I was 
stuck in Albany, NY for several days because of a blizzard.  Second, 
thanks for sending this email to me.  I can see that there is some 
confusion about who must comply.  It's hard for me to tell from the 
email trail what services the WISP member is providing.  As we talked 
about before, if a provider is offering Broadband Internet Access or 
VoIP to the public then that provider must be CALEA compliant by May 
14, 2007. I'd be happy to meet with folks from WISP in the next 
couple of weeks so we can talk through these issues.  Thanks, Maura

  Hi Maura,

  At the risk of seeming silly, and in the hopes that this gets no 
one in trouble, I thought that you should see this thread from a 
public mailing list. I'd like your comments on the accuracy of what 
we've been told here.


  The basic thrust of this is that we, as small rural wisps, won't 
have to be calea compliant for various reasons.


  I'd like to get our meeting with your team rescheduled as soon as 
it makes sense. A couple of weeks down the road should give me time 
to find people in the area that can attend.


  Assuming that something has been lost in the interpretation here, 
we really really need to get a wisp/small operator standard in place 
before the final deadline.

2007-02-21 Thread Larry Yunker
I would think that just having a CALEA compliant upstream would not satisfy 
the requirement.  Some traffic would be untraceable.  Here's the logic:


Target to be monitored is at 10.0.0.10.
Your EMAIL server is inside YOUR network at 10.0.0.100
Your upstream gets told to trap and tap all information going to or from 
10.0.0.10
All of 10.0.0.10's email would go from 10.0.0.10 to 10.0.0.100.  Then the 
email would go out to your upstream with IP address 10.0.0.100  sneaking 
right past the traps set at the upstream.


Of course, the aforementioned mail transit problem is something that is 
going to happen and you as the end ISP won't be able to trap that traffic 
either unless you place the trap between the client and the email server.
