I bet the technical aspects of how to comply will be emerging soon.
I understand the wispa calea meeting went very well.
So there must be some good news.

Hi,
While I appreciate Mark's comments and point of view, I for one would
like to also start looking for ways to possibly comply with CALEA in a
cost-effective way. I'm afraid that if the conversation here is limited
to whether we should comply or not, we might lose the opportunity to
share with each other about technical implementation.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that the conversation about
whether to comply should be halted, just that some room be given to
those of us who also want to speak about implementation.
I'm still interested if anyone has any point of view about any of the
compliance methods that I discussed in my original post, from a
technical standpoint.
Thanks,
Adam

Mark,
CALEA IS LAW. There are interpretations of that law, but they have
been upheld by courts.
YOu're arguing against things I'm not saying.
CALEA is not the opinion of the DOJ or FCC. It is not far-reaching
(like say the Patriot Act) or secret and possibly illegal like the
NSA-AT&T wiretapping / surveillance.
The whole idea that WE are covered under CALEA is just FCC opinion,
which is
as changeable and variable as the wind. The ruling is capricious and
founded
on VAPOR, not substance.
I just cannot believe you approve of unfunded federal mandates for public
purposes. CALEA was not. Misapplying CALEA is.
This is not OSHA mandates. This is not the same as requiring that a
tower
service company require their climbers to use a safety system. Not even
close. If the federal government is justified with making us provide,
AT OUR
EXPENSE, law enforcement services, then we're one little itty bitty non-
existent step from from being mandated to do ANYTHING they happen to wish
for, and the wish lists from the swamp on the Potomac are so large they
boggle the mind.
And don't give me the "we play dead for regulatory favors in the future"
crap. Nothing we do will buy us one MOMENT's worth of consideration, in
EITHER direction.
