I want to be clear, this is *proposed*. Basically the UK gov is working on a database that would have at least CDRs, email headers, and web requests (the headline suggests that content is also preserved, but I do not get that from the article itself, basically its unclear).
Providers would have to submit this data which police can then go through with the appropriate court order (or hackers can without one, disgruntled employees can with one, etc). The article states that the records are required to be kept for a year anyway, which is why I think its only who contacted whom as opposed to content of what was said. But there is a requirement for phone providers, so it may be of interest to some on this list to be aware of. http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/uk-planning-to-monitor-and-record-every-phone-call-web-page-an/ -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the phone company that pays you! _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
