Re: [OpenCALEA] standards compliance

Not sure if this will help, I talked with the FCC and CALEA compliance
people in some detail about this.
They are not going to send out the swat people to check if every provider is
compliant. The only way they will know is either to knock on your door, or
issue a court order for intercept.
It's a game of choice Russian roulette. Weather you will get an order or
not.

My company has been lead to believe that the fine is to be applied to
non-compliant companies regardless of subpoena or not. After drop-dead
date, you either are or are not compliant. If not, you will be fined.

Hey,
Maybe you or someone else would know the answer to a question I've
been wondering about, specifically if dialup (non-broadband)
communications are covered by CALEA. From the verbage I see, I think if
you fall under CALEA requirements, then it would be (it says,
"communication generated or received by a subscriber by means of ANY
EQUIPMENT, facility, OR SERVICE of a telecommunications carrier"). I've
not (yet) found anything relating to broadband vs. non-broadband, but
I'm guessing if you get "sucked in" to CALEA requirements because you
offer broadband, then all your services become fair game for intercepts,
dialup included. So if you only offer non-broadband communications, you
might be clear (if in fact there is a broadband clause in the
requirements).

you don't.
He did mention that if opencalea does everything according to the
standard
and set format there
should be no problem. It's getting the information of the format
that's
licensed. According to a couple dockets
the licensed format was accepted. I don't know if that is in stone
yet, but
could be.
