RE: Mechanics of CALEA taps

While its possible to do this, you would have to have a device that would not impact performance typically at every 
exit point, but in a perfect world it would be on the clients CPE device!    Our wireless CPE's can do this.    I would 
not that a business model to not bill until a request is completed would work due to the amount of hardware that x 
company would have to put out.

Dear nanog:

Honestly, I expect replies to this question to range between zero and none, but I have to ask it.

I understand the CALEA tap mechanism for most ISPs, generally, works like
this:

 * we outsource our CALEA management to company X
 * we don't even know there's been a request until we've gotten a bill from X.

And that's the extent of it.

Well, golly Slothrop, maybe someone else has started picking up the tab.
Would you even know?

Is that possible?

Thanks,

Randy Fischer
