I appreciated Tim's remarks, but this sounded very much like a response from
someone that is getting fed by the process of CALEA. If I am wrong I duly
appologize. if I am correct then I have said enough.
I agree with you Sam. It boils down to Uncle Sam is pushing an INTERNET
SECURITY TAX on the everyone in the industry and only funding the TELCO's
Side of it and we have no say so in the matter. They have plenty of
resources and just determined that we can take it or shut down. This too is
another way that the multi funded telcos will continue to be fed by the feds
and we will have to pickup the scraps that the telco's don't have time or
the interest to reach. Now doing that will just be a tougher battle.
It must be nice getting a subcity... only a telcos know how to spell
that.... the rest of us have never had money give to us we have to earn
it..... lol

Hi Ross,

You also have to remember that Law Enforcement's primary focus is Law
Enforcement and not developing technology. The FBI/DEA/DOJ said as much
when in 2004 they petitioned the FCC to expand CALEA to broadband and
VoIP. Essentially, they argued that it isn't possible for them to keep
up with the pace of technology. (By the way, this isn't an ability
issue, the FBI and Secret Service, ect. have exceptionally talented
teams. Instead it really is a resource issue; the number of staff they
have to cover these issues can't cover the scale of the problem.)
So I, as a small provider, am suppose to have more and better resources
than the federal government and their various agencies?
