During the Brand-X Supreme Court case, the DEA, the FBI and the DOJ
clearly spelled out that ISP and VoIP traffic would need to be CALEA
compliant. It isn't the FCC, it is the DOJ.
Your statements take us back to all the "lobbying efforts" that CLEC's
and ISP's have ever done:
Don't regulate us - just them. That's not how it works.
You want UL spectrum. You want more of it.
But this is not a one-way street.
To get you have to give.
You have to fill out your forms without whining so much.
You have to be able to help the Department of Justice catch the bad guys
- without the bad guys knowing.
Polling the WISPs. Yeah! They'd answer. You can't get them to fill out a
poll or a form.
When Patrick says herding long tail cats in a roomful of rocking chairs,
he is almost accurate.
(It is actually MUCH harder than that in this "industry").
The squeaky wheels are few but much larger than the silent majority.
But typically they can ruin it for the lot.
BTW, this from SS8's presentation at the VPF:
Other standards in common use in the U.S.:
J-STD-25A –Punchlist
J-STD-25B –CDMA2000 wireless data
PacketCable –VoIP for Cable networks
T1.678 –VoIP for wireline, PTT, PoC
ETSI 33.108 –GPRS wireless data
ATIS –T1.IPNA –ISP data (brand new)

There is a specific data format, called LAES, which is an acronym for
something or other.
As best I can tell, this format costs a license fee if you wish to program
something to use it. Thus, NO OPEN SOURCE IS POSSIBLE.

Please note, there is no entry for ISP's here. That's because
CALEA "compliance" requirement is merely a reversal of opinion by the FCC
less than 12 months ago - May 2006.
The FCC is just making this crap up as they go, CALEA has no provisions that
make the slightest bit of sense for ISP's, and we need to tell them this in
clear and unmistakeable terms.
