Folks, operational value is CALEA compliance. FYI. Note: Randy Bush has generously contributed cycles to a list at PSG.COM to engage in lawful intercept discussions (technical/psuedo-legal) that are off-topic to NANOG. If enough people indicate interest in a private followup, I'll summarize and announce back to the list. The U.S. Department of Justice filed a Statement of Non-Support with the FCC on August 18, 2004, opposing the February 4, 2004 petition of ALLTEL Communications, Inc. ("ALLTEL") to extend the CALEA compliance deadline to January 30, 2006, for its packet-mode communications. Specifically, DOJ opposes the granting of any further extensions of the CALEA packet-mode compliance deadline for ALLTEL's "Touch2Talk" push-to-talk service. http://www.askcalea.net/lefilings.html Our AskCALEA Forums are continuously updated with new important information in your area of interest. -- Martin Hannigan (c) 617-388-2663 VeriSign, Inc.
