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

[Hank Cohen]

 I just finished touring the world talking with customers in Europe, the
Middle East and Asia about VoIP security and everyone agreed that
although CALEA is a US law every jurisdiction in the world has a legal
intercept requirement.  The US probably has better legal oversight than
many jurisdictions but any prudent VoIP service provider had better be
thinking very seriously about how to provide legal intercept no matter
where in the world they operate.
