Alien54 wrote with a link to a Wired blog entry noting that May 14th is
the [0]official deadline for [1]internet service providers to modify
their networks, and meet the FBI and FCC's new regulations. The
Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act requires that
everyone
from cable services to Universities give them access, within certain
parameters, to the usage habits of customers. "So, if you're a
broadband
provider (separately, some VOIP companies are covered too) ... Hurry!
The
deadline has already passed to file an FCC form 445, certifying that
you're on schedule, or explaining why you're not. You can also find the
68-page official industry spec for internet surveillance here. It'll
cost
you $164.00 to download, but then you'll know exactly what format to
use
when delivering customer packets to federal or local law enforcement,
including 'e-mail, instant messaging records, web-browsing information
and other information sent or received through a user's broadband
connection, including on-line banking activity.'"
