AFAIK Orcon is effectivly just a retailer for Telecom and I'm quite certain that if the NSA wanted some particular traffic on 'our' Telecom network monitored and forwarded to them it would just happen. Sovereignty be damned.
Are our telecommunications laws so lax that we allow international security agencies to intercept traffic without a New Zealand court order? Nick?
Orcons only gets the Layer 2 level of the DSL from Telecom which is delivered to them on a fibre ATM link.
Application services such as mail are delivered off Orcons own equipment that is located in Auckland, not in Australia (as Xtra's mail is now located it would seem).
