As I understand it anyone who runs a router has to be CALEA compliant.
Call the FCC ... these guys will answer your question and call you back:
www.fcc.gov/calea
Or ask a Legal Professional like Kris Twomey.
Chris Savage or KC Halm from Davis Wright Tremaine LLP will take your
questions about CALEA on May 9th

As I am finding myself back into sales, I have a question concerning CALEA. I
just read this blurb:
The “facilities-based” terminology was meant to include providers offering
connectivity infrastructure between end users and the Internet. However,
establishments that acquire broadband Internet access service from a
facilities-based provider to enable their customers to access the Internet from
their respective establishments are excluded. The FCC explicitly exempted
retail providers such as those offering hot spot WiFi (News - Alert) service
where the actual Internet connectivity is obtained from another provider
From this site: http://www.rad-info.net/fcc/calea1.htm
This would indicate to me that if you are a retail provider, i.e. you buy your
broadband from someone else and resell it to your customers, that you are
exempt. This would suggest that the onus is on your provider to monitor your
T-1 or other connection to them in the event of a need for a tap.
Any clarity on this would be great.
