I heard about this on the Tech News Today podcast. Folks are not happy about
it. It sounds like the end of encryption without back doors, without the
govt having the keys.

LOL...  Seriously, I've not seen any mention of this anywhere on any of the
wireless sites, nor any other news site...  

 

So, my question...  Does anyone know anything about this?   

 

I'm thinking that just about every telecom/internet/isp/voip/etc engaged
entity should be on high alert to head this off at the pass, so to speak.

They'll call it the "obama-air bill".

Quote:

 

An Obama administration task force that includes officials from the Justice
and Commerce Departments, the
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/f/federal
_bureau_of_investigation/index.html?inline=nyt-org> F.B.I.and other agencies
recently began working on draft legislation to strengthen and expand the
Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act, a 1994 law that says
telephone and broadband companies must design their services so that they
can begin conducting surveillance of a target immediately after being
presented with a court order.

There is not yet agreement over the details, according to officials familiar
with the deliberations, but they said the administration intends to submit a
package to Congress next year.

Another quote:

Another proposal would create an incentive for companies to show new systems
to the F.B.I. before deployment. Under the plan, an agreement with the
bureau certifying that the system is acceptable would be an alternative
"safe harbor," ensuring the firm could not be fined.

 

I am obviously not being...  anything other that correct to say "People,
this is serious..."

You can't deploy anything new until the government approves of it, or face
massive liability for fines and fees?
