Correct. Protect the rights of our customers, protect the rights of the service provider AND allow for what LEA needs to get a conviction for the guilty party. All of these are built into CALEA. > > CALEA has many regs which say when we are doing too much to help tap > connections. The WISPA CALEA standard was created to act as a > guideline for WISPs.

It defines the technical standard that our software/hardware MUST meet. For the original poster: Be sure you are familiar enough with the way the MT handles the CALEA software so that you can properly capture this data for the LEA.
