Via 27B Stroke 6.

[snip]

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has declined to hear an appeal of a
June decision holding that broadband service providers and college
networks must re-configure their networks to make them easily tappable
by law enforcement.

The FCC rules in question re-interpreted a 1994 law known as CALEA,
which distinguished between telecom networks, such as the traditional
phone system and Internet providers.

Under that law, telecoms were forced to make it easier for law
enforcement to listen in on phone calls.
