In my opinion, I don;t think it will fly because of "NAT".
The law inforcement agrency needs to be able to differenciate what customer
traffic is comming from, and if you use NAT for any of your customers, the
facilities based upstream provider would have no way to identify the end
user, and the WISP would become the customer and be liable. To many degrees
of seperation at the upstream for the captured data to be meaningful.

Hm.
It'd be one heckuva stretch, but by reading the letter (as opposed to the
spirit) of that paragraph, many smaller WISPs would automatically be
exempt. I know my office has "acquired broadband Internet access service
from a facilities-based provider" (our upstream ISP) and we're enabling
our customers to access the Internet from their respective establishments
(i.e. our customers pay for Internet at their homes or offices).
By the letter of that paragraph (and, to be fair, I haven't read all the
context surrounding it) most any single-homed WISP would be exempt, as
they could just say "go talk to our upstream." (I doubt it'd work for
multi-homed ISPs, as that would require multiple upstreams to be tapped
and somehow synchronized, which is probably technically annoying.)
