For those that are not familiar with CALEA, it's the governement's way
of intercepting or "monitoring" voice communications (presumably with

For those unfamiliar with CALEA entirely, Asterisk is solely a program
running on a machine. It does logging like any other program, so logging
is available, the majority of your concern should come from your network
where the taps would occur... Anyway the FCC permits some providers to
apply for an exemption to CALEA when monitoring is not technically
feasible. Anyone with enough networking, engineering experience can
draft up information and request exemption.

Anyhow of newsworthiness and humor (depending on your view) "The FCC is
also responsible for the steady expansion of the Communications
Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) and has attempted to mandate
<http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060613-7042.html> VoIP
back-doors despite the fact that doing so contradicts the language and
intent of CALEA as well as the agency's own standing policies regarding
the classification of Internet services. The FCC is also guilty of
frequent attempts to exceed its authority, most notably by attempting to
mandate <http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20041006-4280.html> the
anti-consumer broadcast flag without congressional authorization."
