Not to be a cynic about the subject, but I think the government's track record suggests that the storage of the logs would be at the ISP's expense and burden.
Almost certainly. The question I have, however, is would these requirements apply to a) organizations like TriLUG that provide services like shell accounts and e-mail to their users and b) a personal co-located server that someone has where they offer shell and e-mail accounts to a few friends! (How's that for bringing the discussion squarely back into the on-topic category?) Of course, what's likely to happen is that they'll mandate something that lots of people just ignore, until, of course, the FBI comes knocking on TriLUG's door asking for their logs. And that is the point where the sh... hits the fan. The question becomes then, is the risk worth it?
