[VOIPSEC] VoIP providers must allow wiretapping by law enforcement agencies by next May 14

[Robert Welbourn]

Actually, the FCC amended the CALEA rules to apply to facilities-based ISPs as well as interconnected VoIP service providers.  However, it would presumably be easier to wiretap the VoIP communication in the network of the VoIP service provider's rather than that of the Internet access provider.

See http://www.fcc.gov/calea/ for more info.

As I understand it, it's not the ISP's responsibility to allow access 
for wiretap, it's the responsibility of the "VoIP provider". In which 
case, it falls upon Skype, Vonage, MSN and cable VoIP providers to 
implement the required functionality in whatever way they see fit to comply.
