VoIP has, by its very nature, an IP address associated with it. If the
FCC were to do anything wouldnt it be easier to make the ISPs record the
physical address where that link is installed to? Of course this would
have to be dynamic due to dynamic IPs. So a realtime lookup which
integrates to the phone network would be desirable. Gee mandate more
people hop on SS7 by mandating the ISPs maintain location data (like the
GSM HLR) for the IP assignments incase of VoIP 911 calls.
I have detected intruders in networks. They came in from other hacked
networks. They could have actually been just about anywhere in the
world. The point is that providing the government with location data for
every IP only helps to keep track of honest people. If I can break into
a network I can tunnel just about anything through it. Incidents I have
investigated showed that the hackers often compiled and installed
whatever tools they needed on the systems they "borrowed".
There is very little room in the constitution for the federal government
to mandate such stuff. But with the surpeme court ruling the way it has
(everything is federal basically, screw the constitution) bleh I cant
wait until I can move.
I don't know about all that. When I was in elementary school they told
me the constitution was something that we all should be reading. Now I
guess things have changed and I'm too stupid to read the thing and
understand what it says.
