But VoIP IS data.... LEA is just after the data. They don't care who gives it to them when they are trying to track down a bad guy.
You remember the conversations we had with the FBI. Without a standard in place you (the operator of the network) have to do everything you reasonably can to comply with their requests. If you are a VoIP provider but the VoIP doesn't ride your network you can't track it. Just like you couldn't track a ptp file sharing application *IF* neither end of the transaction rides your network. But, *IF* either end of the transaction rides your network you can and will have to intercept the conversation and send a copy to LEA. Why is VoIP any different? It's just a voice conversation instead of a kiddie porn video. Both have an audio component, both are data at the network level. I'm not saying you are wrong here. But if I were the LEA I'd not care, I just need the data. marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.C. Utter" <[email protected]> To: "Marlon K.
