Why does anyone comply with CALEA? Especially after the abuses of the last
8 years and probably a lot farther back than that? I've been reading about
the requirements and the idea that ISPs cooperate with law enforcement
really makes me uneasy on a civil liberties basis. Does Uncle Sam scare
tactic people in to compliance? There's just something about making things
easier for the NSA and any number of alphabet soup agencies that strikes me
as unamerican (to use their own phrase against them) and wrong. Or was it
created simply to create a new space for security products and C, J and the
others were really good at lobbying?
Since it doesn't require the ISP to break open encrypted traffic it
almost makes me think a public key system that lets the end user encrypt
everything from phone to television with their own keys makes some sense so
there's nothing left in the clear for entertaining the James Bond crowd!
Probably not practical at all but this thread just convinced me not to use
split tunneling.;)

I haven't followed CALEA-for-ISPs for a few years, but at least when it
was initially required, dark fiber providers won't need to comply with
CALEA. They're not providing network service. -lit- fiber providers
would because they're either providing network or telecom service....but
they generally wouldn't do it at the physical layer.
