BECAUSE IT IS FREAKING WRONG, GEORGE, for the government to shift the cost of law enforcement to specific business entities for its own convenience. Why can't you see this? > > Isn't legal wiretapping essential to law enforcement? Of course it is. Where am I objecting to it? Nowhere. I object to an extremely intrusive, expensive, and WRONG mandate on our industry. And further, I object to the fact that WISPA's not even slightly interested in defending small operators from being wiped out. > > The only thing I can think of is to seek funds from the feds to > implement this. Bahhh. No, George. Just abandon the mandate that ISP's have to conduce LE actions at their own expense. Duhhhh. So simple it boggles the mind. Let law enforcement pay for it's own needs. CALEA's mandate is NO DIFFERENT from demanding gas stations fill every cop car for free, because they get the privelege of making profit off motorists. BTW, what's your schedule and whom did you hire to be on call 24/7/365 to carry out LI? Your registered phone must be answered, or you are not "compliant". How's a one man operator supposed to do this? Even two people? There's approximately 85 hours a week my business phone is not answered. I'm leaving for the coast on May 3rd and won't be back till the 7th. That increases the "no response" to more like 140 hours a week that nobody's available during that time, since I don't expect my help to stay up late or answer before 9 AM. I am not a traditional ISP George. I have no office. I have no central network facilty. I own not a single server machine. My access point traffic does not go through anyplace except my bandwidth provider's server room . And the network expansion going on will end even that, and there WILL BE NO LOCATION where all of my traffic goes, when provider 2 comes online and is routed dynamically, and my network converts to a self-healing mesh. There's at least one lone voice in Congress asking for relief for small operators who simply CANNOT do this as mandated. Will YOU stand up for those people and defend them? They are the future LIFEBLOOD of WISPA. If you're ever going to have the numbers in WISPA, these are where the numbers are. Of course, you're management, and I'm just an outsider. > > George > > Mark Koskenmaki wrote: > > I know you're absolutely sick of hearing about it. > > > > But here's someone who actually intends to stand up and do something about > > CALEA.
