I find it interesting that people are stating their organizations are
common carriers. The term common carrier has a very specific legal
meaning. Specifically, a common carrier is an entity licensed by the FCC
or a state agency to supply local and/or long distance
telecommunications services to the general public at established and
stated rates.
How many WISPs fit the above definition?

As a common carrier I can understand and agree. What about providing
E-mail services to our customers, do we then need to keep copies of
all e-mail that comes into or goes out our server?

We are common carriers. We no more have to copy peoples e-mail than
the phone company has to record the contents of every call.

I caught a brief report on FoxNews today about a requirement for
keeping copies of E-mail. It seems that we may be required to
maintain a copy for use at later time for criminal courts. Anyone
know of this or have more info on it? Is it every ISP or only
Corporations. This could be disasterious..... sell alot of storage
devices... The Foxnews report says the requirement begins today and
as usual not a lot of detail.
