I guess you missed the news yesterday that a judge heaing FCC
arguments on CALEA wiretapping called the government's position
"gobbledygook."  ;-)

On Wednesday, the FCC rebuffed calls from universities and libraries
for both exemptions from the federal wiretapping rules that are now
being applied to the Internet and for extensions to the May 14, 2007
deadline that ISPs have for compliance with those rules. As far as can
we can tell from the two-page summary that has been released, the
FCC's new order on the application of the Communications Assistance
for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) to facilities-based broadband service
providers contains the following three provisions, among others:

First, the new order contains a re-affirmation of the May 14, 2007
deadline for bringing every ISP's network—including the networks of
universities and public libraries—into compliance with CALEA. The
specifics of what the FCC means by "compliance" are still being
debated, but in general the feds want the capability to perform
"wiretaps" on VoIP and other broadband traffic that moves through an
ISP and onto the "public Internet." Note that there's an exemption
made for calls between two endpoints on a private network, where none
of the call traffic leaves that network.
