The number comes from the »Telekommunikations-Überwachungsverordnung« (telecommunication surveillance act). The §3 section 2 of <URL:http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/tk_v_2005/__3.html> says that if you have not more than 10000 users then you don't have to install special hard- or software. From my knowledge there are several limits. If a provider has less than 1000 customers there is no need fpr special surveillance equipment. So if at some point the police comes with a court order he has to activate surveillance somehow. If a provider has between 1000 and 10000 customers he has to have technical equipment and processes for doing surveillance. If a court order arrives he must activate surveillance within a working day. Larger providers need to have a SINA-Box (<URL:https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sichere_Inter-Netzwerk_Architektur>, german Wikipedia, <URLhttps://www.bsi.bund.de/DE/Themen/weitereThemen/SINA/Systembeschreibung/sysbeschreibung.html>, german description) installed in his network. This is a VPN Box between the provider and the LEA. -- Jens Kubieziel http://www.kubieziel.de Spielen ist Experimentieren mit dem Zufall. Novalis
