Sample Letter:
I would like to take a moment to urge you to support an upcoming piece
of legislation being introduced by Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI); this
legislation should exempt small broadband and wireless internet
providers from the undue burden and expense of being CALEA (Carrier
Assistance for Law Enforcement Agencies) compliant.
The financial implications of this compliance request can easily cost
$1000's of dollars a month for a solution that meets the compliance
requirements;
As a rural provider of Internet services we are doing good to make a
small profit, as the broadband offerings are becoming more and more less
expensive, the margins are continually narrowing. Having to become
CALEA compliant, will throw is into a potential financial turmoil.
In the past 10 years, we have never been served with a wiretap request.
We service some 400 people in Eastern North Carolina and can not afford
the requirements that have been placed on our ISP.
Please support this legislation by co-sponsoring or endorsing this
measure. I'm not aware of the HR number, but have been told it is
coming.
Regards,
Thomas Carter
