More on CALEA

Susan Crawford’s excellent blog has some comments on the recent D.C. Court of Appeal decision concerning the FCC’s extension of CALEA into VoIP. Sample, from the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA): “government attempts to impose a poorly conceived wiretap surveillance regime on domestic Voice over the Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone traffic could destroy American leadership in telecommunications. Such a move could stall Internet innovation, introduce new cyber security concerns, and expose hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting Americans to law enforcement surveillance.”
