Given what the article cites I don't see it being a severe burden on a
small ISP. All that I see mentioned in the article is the ability to
track what IP belongs to what customer over a period of time. If you
can't track that on your network, how do you manage to troubleshoot
problems or deal with security concerns such as a virus/trojan or other
inappropriate/malicious behavior on your network?
That being said I don't want anyone to construe that I am for this
legislation in ANY form. If the government wants to know what my
subscribers are doing, they can get a court order and I will gladly log
the customer covered under the court order for the period described by
the court order.
This needs to be fought not on a technical basis, but on a rights
basis. The technical issues can solved over time and then where would
we be.

Is WISPA lobbying against this? It will be nearly impossible for most of
us in the wireless business to do this, without major restructuring, or a
huge expense that we can't afford.

Why would Qwest want ISP's to have to retain this data?
