The problem here Mac is that for the bells to be able to provide the
information to the FBI they are going to have to be able to tie that IP
address to an individual (your customer) so in the best case scenario
you will have to keep track of what IP is mapped to which customer for
any given time frame (I know this is an issue for some). In the worst
case scenario you are the Bells will do it for you.

Lonnie,
When I used the term "piss ant" it was referring to the working guys of
this business. We all know how the ants work :-) doggedly for a small
portion of the whole.
Once again, I think its ridiculous to even think that the Feds would allow
us - or put on us - - the responsibility of keeping those records. I really
will go one step further than that and say that it is not possible! Look at
it this way:
Why would you sop the water off the ground with a sponge and then wring
the sponge out in the bucket when you could catch it in the bucket at the
spigot before it runs out all over the Country? I know my fiber connection
is tied in directly to Shreveport, Louisiana - - - and so is every other
facility in N. Louisiana that has fiber including all the DSL where its
dumped into the fiber at the Telco CO's.
I don't really have an awful lot of faith in our Government, but even a
simple mind like mine can see that we aren't ever going to be faced with
that responsibility. There are a bunch of renegades (like me) out here who
already are at odds with the Government and do you think they are going to
trust me (and others like me) to gather, maintain and retain that type data
when they have folks (just one or two hops upstream from all of us) who can
be held responsible and own the spigot we pull from? I just can't see
how/why anyone would wait till the end of the pipe where it goes out to
50,000 distribution points when they (once again) can catch it all at one
facility. It seems like a "no brainer" to me.
ME SMUG? HA! That makes me smile :-)

Just try and imagine how much storage you would require for 2 years
worth of traffic. Guys are joking about it being good so they can get
the Terabyte server they always wanted. How about when they have to
buy 50 of them?
Also consider the task of assigning IP addresses and maintaining that
list to always be up to date and correct.
If this requirement is made I do expect you will see an awful lot of
guys stop doing this since the paperwork and records keeping would be
an added chore and a possible huge expense. If you elect to ignore it
if it is ever required expect to be asked to do jail time and pay huge
fines.
Make light of this all you want, but I believe that your smugness will
not last long if it becomes a requirement.

Common sense tells you that the big boys will lobby to force the last mile
provider to log it all, so as to bankrupt the competition.

I wouldn't imagine that this responsibility would fall on us WISPs, but
to
our upstream providers like BellSouth...etc. Why would they want to deal
with the 20,000 piss ants of the world when all they have to do is back
up
stream two hops and catch all the traffic? Common sense tells me this
will
not fall on us!

Why aren't we fighting tooth and nail to stop this kinda stuff?
Or, is this issue like certain others, where WISPA founders take
contrary
positions to the rest of the members and side with big brother and
encourage
the feds to dig into and regulate our business, in some apparent hope of
ingratiating themselves with the regulators?
AT LEAST could we have the leadership tell us what THEY think of this?
