My guess? It's officially "per request", and that the NSA then officially "requests" that the companies send them everything. > Given the revelations over the past month, I doubt Microsoft's the only one. I would be absolutely astounded to find out Microsoft's the only one. I expect all the biggest providers would be targeted. Google, Yahoo, Comcast, Verzion, Facebook, anyone who does a lot of email or other content services for people. Prolly Amazon, IBM, and other big cloud providers as well. If not as part of *this* program, then as some *other* program. That's the cool thing about pervasive computing, it gives you *all sorts* of ways to vacuum up great gobs of data. -- Ben
