Re: [WISPA] CPE - who buys it?

2009-11-10 Thread RickG
Tom,

Your reply is the the info I was looking for. Thanks for your reply. I do
believe you are correct but I'll double-check with my county and CPA. I've
moved so many times around the country that I cant keep up! Just a note, we
have been paying our property taxes by default because of our lessor passes
it on to us. The reason I'm inquiring is in preparation for when our lease
is paid off (early next year). With that said, I have an additional
question: Do you pay property taxes on every screw, nut, & bolt?

2009-11-10 Thread Marlon K. Schafer
You do NOT have to identify the customer via IP.  They may come to you with 
an IP addy and you CAN tell them that you need more than that.

Once they give you some form of identity that will narrow it down to a 
single customer you may have to either give them the info or do the tap.

What you CAN'T do is give them any information on anyone other than the 
target person.

We worked extensively with the FBI on the standard.  We went all over these 
details.

My subpoena had a user name.  They wanted (and eventually got) a name and 
phone number for the target.  In this case we didn't have to do the "wire 
tap".  But they knew info other than the IP addy.

Re: [WISPA] IPTV -- Anyone doing it?

2009-11-10 Thread Jayson Baker
Middleware... we initially used something that started with an E... I don't
remember.  It was junk, and the developers were not too bright.  We ended up
going with Minerva - it's great.  AT&T U-Verse runs Minerva, so that has to
tell you something.

Our headend was built by Avail Media.  I don't know what software they used
on the Linux encoders.  I do know the 4-port ASI cards (which were something
like $1200/ea) come with Linux software to encode from ASI to MPEG 4 and
stream out via multicast.

Initially we used some cheap-o STB's made by... again, the name escapes me.
Mood or something.  They were decent, actually.  We ended up going with
Motorola STBs because they supported HD.  Again, U-Verse uses Moto STBs, so
that tells you something.

Middleware provides the guide.

An that will be sufficient assuming that you can point to an IP on your

the MAC address of the CPE.

You have to be able to Identify the Customer, weather you do it via IP or
any other info is a monior Technicality. A lot of the Subpoena issued
via mail or fax are more 'in support' of whatever the case the appropriate
law enforcemnet agency is working on.

Next time you get a Subpoena  Feel free to ignore it or tell them you

If what they are working on is important enough or if you piss off the right

That's the point I was trying to make.

If you are going to run NAT/DHCP, then you need to track the MAC address of the 
CPE's.

If it's an open WiFi network, then all bets are off.

You have to follow network designs that allow for CALEA intercepts if need 
be.  If you've not looked at the WISPA standard I'd suggest you do so now. 
It'll be a lot easier to comply if the network is designed for LEA interface 
ahead of time.

Re: [WISPA] DMCA - copyright infringement

2009-11-10 Thread Faisal Imtiaz
The point I was making is that

Based on CALEA requirements, each ISP is supposed to keep records of useage
and access, and should be available via easy access (not a few hrs of
research).

Disclosing the End user info to DMCA  That is not what we do and not in
favor off either, but using the logs to identify which customer is the
ofender and having them stop is what we do actively do.

CALEA does require that you be able to identify subscribers by IP address
and, as necessary take captures.  So, once this data is collected for CALEA
compliance purposes (as is mandatory), then it can be used in other legal
proceedings.

However, I don't see how a service provider has to provide CALEA information
unless requested by a law enforcement agency, which would require a criminal
prosecution (to be accessed by the CALEA provisions which circumvent some of
the normal due process for these requests) or a subpoena in an ongoing
lawsuit.

Still, all that said, I find it a complete breach of trust for a service
provider to forward that information onto a third party outside of a
subpoena or a CALEA request.  This is true in cases of "copyright
enforcement", which is usually more of a civil dispute between two parties
than a criminal matter.  This breach of privacy could also be abused in
other ways: it's not hard to imagine a spoofed copyright violation notice
being sent by a child predator or an offended chatroom user who fishes for
identification information for purposes of revenge or abuse.

Re: [WISPA] IPTV -- Anyone doing it?

2009-11-10 Thread Blake Covarrubias
We're operate a small cable TV company in a minor section of our service area 
and carry about 55 channels which includes most of the major networks.

We're interested in deploying IPTV. What middleware software would you 
recommend? You mentioned you used Linux in your headend environment. Can you 
elaborate on that setup, such as the software you were using to convert the 
channels to IP Multicast, set-top boxes being used, software providing channel 
guides, etc etc?

Thanks.

CALEA does require that you be able to identify subscribers by IP address
and, as necessary take captures.  So, once this data is collected for CALEA
compliance purposes (as is mandatory), then it can be used in other legal
proceedings.

However, I don't see how a service provider has to provide CALEA information
unless requested by a law enforcement agency, which would require a criminal
prosecution (to be accessed by the CALEA provisions which circumvent some of
the normal due process for these requests) or a subpoena in an ongoing
lawsuit.

Still, all that said, I find it a complete breach of trust for a service
provider to forward that information onto a third party outside of a
subpoena or a CALEA request.  This is true in cases of "copyright
enforcement", which is usually more of a civil dispute between two parties
than a criminal matter.  This breach of privacy could also be abused in
other ways: it's not hard to imagine a spoofed copyright violation notice
being sent by a child predator or an offended chatroom user who fishes for
identification information for purposes of revenge or abuse.

This actually leads to another question:
  Based on Federal CALEA requirements, aren't we (the service provider)
supposed to keep our detail records of subscibers and usage logs

.We keep logs by using a centralied Syslog server, where we log access,
based on time stamp records, we can go back and see who was using what IP
address at what point in time...

Re: [WISPA] NTIA / RUS - Request for Information for 2nd Round Released

WISPA as well will be filing comments, and have been patiently waiting this 
anticipated  ROI.

  Subject: [WISPA] NTIA / RUS - Request for Information for 2nd Round Released


  We will be filing comments, so if you want to add your “2 cents” on the 
process, let me know and we’ll be more than happy to incorporate your thoughts

   

  Agencies Plan to Consolidate Final Two Funding Rounds, Seek Comment on 
Program Enhancements 

   

  WASHINGTON – The USDA‟s Rural Utilities Service (RUS) and the Commerce 
Department‟s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) 
today announced they are streamlining the American Recovery and Reinvestment 
Act‟s broadband grant and loan programs by awarding the remaining funding in 
just one more round, instead of two rounds, to increase efficiency and better 
accommodate applicants. 

   

  The agencies also announced they are seeking public comment on how best to 
administer the second round of funding for the programs in order to improve the 
applicant experience and maximize the ability of the programs to meet Recovery 
Act objectives. 

   

  “Stakeholders will have the opportunity to provide us with well-informed 
feedback on how the first round worked for applicants, the agencies will be 
able to make improvements to the process, and potential applicants will gain 
more time to form partnerships and create stronger project proposals. 
Ultimately, this approach can help us run the programs with increased 
efficiency and produce better results for the American public,” Strickling 
said. 

   

  In a Request for Information (RFI) released today, the agencies are seeking 
feedback on procedural and policy aspects of BIP and BTOP. While inviting 
general input on the programs, the agencies identified specific areas for 
comment. 

   

  In terms of procedural matters, for example, the RFI seeks input on ways to 
streamline the application process while still ensuring that the agencies 
obtain the information necessary to make awards in accordance with statutory 
requirements. The RFI also asks whether the agencies can better balance the 
public‟s interest in transparency and openness with stakeholders‟ legitimate 
interest in maintaining the confidentiality of proprietary data.

   

  Among policy matters raised, the RFI seeks comment on how to best target the 
remaining funds to achieve the goals of the Recovery Act. Commenters proposing 
a more targeted approach are asked to quantify the impact of their proposal 
based on metrics such as the number of end users or community anchor 
institutions connecting to service, the number of new jobs created, and the 
projected increase in broadband adoption rates. The RFI asks whether to focus 
second round funding on projects that create “comprehensive communities” by 
installing high capacity middle mile facilities between anchor institutions 
that bring essential health, medical, and educational services to citizens. The 
RFI also invites input on various other issues, including whether the 
definition of “remote area,” which is used to determine grant eligibility under 
BIP, is too restrictive, how the agencies can best ensure that investments are 
cost effective, and ways the programs might impact regional economic 
development and stability. 

   

  RUS and NTIA will utilize the feedback received in response to the RFI to set 
the rules for the second funding round, which the agencies expect

Re: [WISPA] CPE - who buys it?

2009-11-10 Thread Tom DeReggi
Quick Clarification

As far as I know Personal Property Tax is a County Tax, and taxation is 
under the jurisdiction of the County Code, so its possible some states or 
Counties might not have a  Personal Property Tax on anything.  However, in 
our case the State collect Property Tax on behalf of the Counties.
Many Counties get the "majority" of their income from Property Tax. With the 
Housing market crash, and falling property values, Counties have lost a huge 
percentage of their income, and usually in somewhat of a budget crisis 
because of it. For this reason it very possible that they might have their 
auditors look harder to areas other than Real Estate, to look for unreported 
taxable property. Just something to be concious about.

Re: [WISPA] CPE - who buys it?

2009-11-10 Thread Tom DeReggi
Rick,

No your assumption is not true.

Property Tax is applied on "property".  When you buy radio CPE it shows up 
on your financials as "property", and if you TAX DEDUCT the cost of the CPE, 
which I sure hope you do for your benefit, you have claimed those purchases 
as property.  A Auditor isn;t going to go look for a single small purchase. 
But I assure you CPEs, a line item which adds up to be a huge inaggregate 
cost, they will immediately see that property and recognize whether that 
property was declared, and property tax properly paid on it or not. As a 
matter of fact some counties will check you federal returns, to find your 
claimed deductions and depreciations, and automatically assess your property 
tax based on your Federal Tax Returns.

SO IF your county charges "Property Tax" then your CPEs are "TAXABLE 
PROPERTY" UNLESS your county specifically has passsed a law to "excemption" 
radio equipment.  Loudon County Virgina is one specific County that made 
Wireless CPE exempt from property tax to foster local investment in 
Broadband. I wish more counties were as insightful, because it was a very 
effective program.  Property Tax is NOT just for large real estate. Its paid 
on EVERY TANGIBLE ASSET you own. That include an office chair, a computer, a 
telephone, a router, a CPE, what ever it is that you own.

Mike, Just because nobody has been commming around asking for Property Tax 
on CPE does not make it not owed. Property Tax is self claimed, so the 
government doesn't know you have that property until they decide to audit 
you, or you tell them. But why do you pay any tax of any kind at all? After 
all, if you aren't audited you wont have to pay it? Because you know when 
you are audited, you'll be in big trouble if you didn't. The same applied to 
Property Tax. The burden is on the Property Owner to know the law and 
properly report Tax, or it is illegal TAX Evading, if the owner does not 
report it.

Yes, I've fully qualified the above with attorneys and accountants. I 
learned this the hard way.
I originally over paid my property taxes, because I didn't know the laws. 
When I learned I over paid, I stopped reporting and paying Property tax.
I got audited by the county, and they decided to estimate my Property Tax 
based on data reported on my income tax returns, which was about 10 times 
more than I actually owed.
The way it work is, you pay everything the government claims, and then if 
you protest the amounts and win, they'll send you a refund.
I made the mistake of fighting the process, and when I didn't pay the wrong 
amounts, they simply immediately cancelled my corporate status, reported it 
to credit agencies, and made it impossible for me to get a LOAN for over 1.5 
years. I couldn't even renew my ARIN IP, until I got it cleared up.

The reason you report Property Tax on CPE is so you can report the correct 
amounts. The government does not have access to the fact to assess a correct 
amount and will always grossly over estimate. You should also include a 
letter explaining anything that might look odd.

This is the thing Property Tax is paid to the State that the property is 
located and installed in.  So if you are a  Pennsylvania business, and buy 
equipment from California, and install the CPE into Maryland, you pay 
Property Tax on that CPE to Maryland. The problem here is that most WISPs 
dont track where they will install a CPE at the time they buy bulk CPE, so 
there is usually not a good record of where to pay tax to.  SO... IF you buy 
100 CPEs and Pay Tax on 100 CPEs to your State, and then isntall 30 of those 
CPEs in another State, you owe that second State Property Tax for 30 CPEs. 
This means that you are at risk of paying Tax TWICE, if you do not properly 
track where property resides and break tax payments down appropriately to 
match.

This is one of the reasons I am against tracking an ISP's end user 
locations. The States/Counties will then have a clear record to track how 
many CPEs an ISP has in their County.

To find out if you owe property tax, you need to look at county code. Dont 
look for something to say that you have to pay tax on CPE, because it wont 
be there. By default you are obligated to pay tax on EVERYTHING, unless an 
excemption was given. So you are looking for an Excemption in the County Tax 
Code specifically for broadband investment.
If you cant find one, Contact your County and point them to the fine example 
that Loudon County Virginia has made to help make their County one of the 
most advanced Broadband Counties in the Country, and ask them to follow in 
their foot steps.

It was funny, when I contacted my County about Property Tax and that I'd 
likely be applying for a BTOP grant bringing in a large amount of new 
property, the first thing they saw was Dollar signs, and it was inferred 
they had no intentions of waiving the Property Tax. I found it extremely 
hippocritical, that they'd not waive property tax to help private

This is correct, But the cable companys hand out public addresses with 
DHCP. So you can say, Yeah This address was assigned to "mac" on this date. 
And they know the offending IP because it was in the email, But When you 
nat all your customers, the ip in the email is the IP assigned to the wan 
interface of your router, or whatever you are masquerading out. So you have 
no idea what the internal IP was the offender. And no log will tell you 
which one was.

AFAIK your assertion that "NAT/DHCP - has no way to know" is not 
entirely correct.

Just how most Cable companies require you to register the MAC address of 
your modem to tie to your account (DHCP has logs you know), University 
students sign up for dorm internet using their mac address (which they 
sometimes rewrite onto their modem), but someone's name is still on the 
'account.'  This is how I think those 'high exposure' for DMCA 
(especially university) handle DMCA to Violator lookups.

One does not need to open up wireshark and start logging traffic for 
awhile.  Sufficient logs with enough detail (IP & MAC + cross reference 
against account holder) & accurate timestamps should be enough to 
identify who is who at what time without violating your customer's 
privacy of their data.

Re: [WISPA] DMCA - copyright infringement

2009-11-10 Thread Jerry Richardson
OK so let's play out the scenario.

Studio wants ISP send a letter to the customer
ISP is NAT/DHCP - has no way to know
Studio gets subpoena

What now? At this point LEA is involved which demands cooperation.
If the network is open WiFi, then there truly is no way to know.
If the network is fixed installation, then the ISP "could" provide the 
information.

So assuming it's a fixed installation, the ISP sets up a server with Wireshark 
or other packet capture and stores that data for1 day, 1 week, 1 month? 

At this point is the ISP breaking any privacy laws of customers that are NOT 
named in the subpoena? Not if the customer's TOA indicated that their Internet 
traffic MAY be stored and analyzed under legal request by LEA.


Mind you this is all hypothetical. I'm just trying to understand the potential 
impact and exposire on the part of the ISP.

If the law changes and says each customer is required to have a public IP,
then ISPs need to be provided as such.

Keep in mind, too, that IPs are dynamic with most ISPs.  Don't forget that

Re: [WISPA] Metered Billing

2009-11-10 Thread Scottie Arnett
I am not offering metered billing as of yet, but also plan to move to it very 
soon. I think you will see everyone move to it sooner or later. Bandwidth is 
cheap in the bigger cities, but even that is going to get used up before anyone 
knows it. Then the bandwidth providers have to do upgrades. Where is the cost 
going to be recouped? In the rural country, bandwidth is proportionately 
higher. I pay over $200/meg and just recently got this in the last few months 
after paying almost $425+/meg for years.

What happens when dad wants to watch CSI on the Internet connected TV, Mom 
wants to watch Home and Garden Channel on Hulu, little brother wants to 
download 100 illegal mp3's on torrents, all while grandma is talking on VOIP, 
and grandpa is watching pron? The point is, at this time most customers are 
using very little. Even 100Mbit fiber backbone can sustain 10=10 meg users at a 
constant stream like my scenario provides. This is what is coming to be 
expected of us providers very soon.

The idea has been to oversubscribe/oversell bandwidth and is the business model 
of probably %99 of all ISPs. Even the telcos oversell their telephone lines 
based on ratio. In the Internet market, all these high bandwidth applications 
are killing that idea now. Let NN get passed and you will see ALL the big boys 
jump on the metered bandwagon quicker than you can snap your fingers.

good point.

So what does the law require? 

Is this a case for why providing Internet services without a static public IP 
exposed the ISP to legal suit?

Re: [WISPA] customers dogs chewing on CAT5

2009-11-10 Thread Tom DeReggi
OR one can just do a professional install job, and not have loose 
cables, and properly stable/fasten all cables flush to surfaces every three 
feet, and run behind walls, and under trims, etc.   Dogs have never been a 
threat to my installs. Sure a Dog might chew a 6ft Patch Cable, but thats an 
easy fix, and easilly verified by end user.  Now on the other hand a Weed 
Eater? We've had a few cut by lawn care, when the weeds grew up to the trim 
edge, cause they dont even know the cable is there, and accidentally get it.

Re: [WISPA] DMCA - copyright infringement

2009-11-10 Thread Jerry Richardson
So if you are running a NAT/DHCP network, how would you find the offending 
customer? We are running static/public so we don't run into this.

I think the simplest way is to require the studio to provide the IP for the 
server delivering copyrighted information.

The ISP has to be tracking CPE MACs. 

Use MT's torch or Wireshark to look at connections across the network to find 
the BT server IP. Match the connection to the MAC and there you go.

Maybe there is an easier way.

Re: [WISPA] USF changes?

2009-11-10 Thread Tom DeReggi
This is the critical phrase

"The measure will expand who pays into the fund"

Anyone know the answer?

This is good if it makes high volume DSL and Cable Co to continue to pay USF 
fees.
But not so good if it makes suburban WISPs have to start paying into the 
fund.  Its a competitive advantage that WISPs dont have to pay the 5% USF 
tax currently, and needed advantage in the very competitive served markets, 
since WISPs are usually under dogs in their market.

Really to cover yourself you would need to know what customer it came from, 
When NAT'ing that's hard to do. So yeah, I would agree you the ISP could 
become the sole person responsible for that unless you can point fingers at 
a customer.

What are you guys doing who have some/all of your network nat'ed? Seems

Re: [WISPA] DMCA - copyright infringement

2009-11-10 Thread Nick Olsen
It all depends on the ISP.
All they are doing is looking for the abuse email on the network. For our 
network this is us. However, Some of the bigger ISP's (TWTC...ect) actually 
have a up to date whois that you can query, So you Put in the info for lets 
say 65.33.33.33 and it says TWTC but once you query there whois it will 
tell you hostingcompanyx is who we issued this ip to. Linux's whois does 
this all by default.

The point I'm making is, It is possible for the customer to be the one to 
receive the email, Its all about who is listed as a abuse contact on the 
whois page.

To me the question is how much work should I invest in order to
protect "their" copyright interest. It makes sense to me that since
they have no way of knowing the identity of the customer and all they
really have is an ip address. That the ISP would have to connect the
copyright owner to the customer. Billing them for the research work
sounds like good idea to me. That way I am not preventing them from
contacting the perpetrating party, and I also get paid for my time.

We have received an email from our provider with a complaint from
"Twentieth Century FOX Film Corporation" about a download movie from
BitTorrent.

They demand we notify the customer and make sure the customer is aware
of our AUP. Has anyone received a notice like this and how did you
handle the case. Are you following DMCA protocol, or taking another
