Matt;
This is going to be a bit rough but I feel the need to call a this as I see
it. You are running roughshod on a lot of people with your fear mongering
and it needs to be called into the open. So...

What makes you such an authority on CALEA, Matt? What qualifications or
experience with CALEA do you bring to the table that give credence to the
fear that you are mongering on this list? Purchasing compliance does not
constitute authoritative knowledge.
Most ISPs will be able to satisfy the CALEA requirements for less than
$200.00. Yep, that is what I said. When the WISPA Standard gets blessed,
and I did say when, there will be an open source implementation. It will
provide safe harbor and it will run on low end hardware. Having had the
personal experience of working with the LEAs a number of times since about
1990 I feel perfectly comfortable in expressing my dismay at the egregious
misinformation and negative speculation you have posted on this list. CALEA
compliance is only going to be a problem for those WISPs who refuse to do
due diligence in coming to compliance.
Honestly Matt, what you have demonstrated on this list is that you have a
talent for fear mongering and then exploiting the poor gullible people who
bought into that fear mongering.
Mind you that is only my opinion, but I am keeping it. I strongly encourage
anyone who is currently in fear of CALEA to just go reread the FAQ. Read it
critically, ensure that you have filed your documents thru Kris to the FBI.
Then relax. The FBI is working very well with the committee. Progress is
being made very quickly on a tough problem.
Just relax people. Don't make a stupid mistake based upon pure horse hockey
and spin which only serves to benefit those who would exploit your fear. If
you want to sell, don't let CALEA compliance be any part of your decision.
