[VOIPSEC] CALEA Enforcement

[Weidong Shao]

I try to catch up with this long thread.

Question on  "facilities-based broadband Internet service and interconnected
VoIP providers",

- For PSTN out/in, I think it is clear that it is interconnected VoIP
service.
  But what about  Yahoo and Sype's  PC-to-PC voice chat ?  are they
considered interconnected VoIP providers?

Skype claims that the voice chat is peer-2-peer and encryption is end-2-end.
how is LI possible then?
Of course, Skype is not open, so we can only assume their security is
end-to-end.
