Kevin Poulsen notes on Threat Level – Wired Blogs that
May 14th is the official deadline for cable modem companies, DSL providers, broadband over powerline, satellite internet companies and some universities to finish wiring up their networks with FBI-friendly surveillance gear, to comply with the FCC’s expanded interpretation of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act.
What is CALEA, you ask?
- Wikipedia: Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act.
- Electronic Frontier Foundation: CALEA.
- And from the pro-CALEA camp: CALEA Online.
- “Wiretaps in the Internet Age,” a paper I wrote with background on CALEA and wiretapping in general.
