I misunderstood this initially also, but the Feds do NOT have access to your network. They have to provide you with a subpoena and then you have (generally) 48 hours to provide them with the traffic stream. I do agree that it is an unfunded mandate, but I don't see any way around it.
You do get a chance at recovering some money when you get your first subpoena...that's why I prefer the TTP plans that are light on front-end and monthly fees.

WHAT? You are not correct. This is the LEA asking for a means to collect data on suspected criminals. They will have to have a subpoena to gather the data, and they do not "automatically" get access to your network data. You are being alarmist and aren't even informed enough to understand what CALEA is. Who's that looking over your shoulder...You should be careful not to fall asleep, because they are watching your bedroom right now. They watch ALL our bedrooms (and kitchens, too). They can read all our email, too. In fact, the post office opens every letter that passes through to send faxes to the government of all the mail, so they'll have it on record. I've heard that the trees are on their side, too! SHEESH!
