The ITU itself is likely irrelevant. However, those who run ISPs across either the left or right puddle are likely to be hit with CALEA-like issues within the next few years, when their countries adopt similar laws. And those who think the EU's stand on privacy of data will prevent a CALEA should consider the sorts of data-retention proposals that are getting floated over there.
Fully agree. But there's a bit more "system" about what's going on in the EU, and stronger privacy safeguards. The Council of Europe convention on cybercrime should be a good starting point, as should at least some of the presos here: http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/cybersecurity/pgc/2007/events/agenda.phtml Look at Session 5, and the special post lunch session the council of europe organized The meeting was audiocast as well so if you dont mind running realplayer you should be able to listen to the panels as well -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists@gmail.com)
