Are You Scrambling to Comply to FCC's May 2007 Wiretaps Deadline? |
 N AUGUST 5, 2005, the press release, “The FCC Requires Certain Broadband and VoIP Providers to Accommodate Wiretaps” is about to actualize for Broadband and VoIP providers! The FCC has approved of a set of new policies for court approved and official wiretap regulations for Internet phone services and Broadband providers. From the original release which states, “the Commission [FCC] established a deadline of 18 months from the effective date of this Order [August 5, 2005], by which time newly covered entities and providers of newly covered services must be in full compliance” (FCC News). This new regulation requires Internet phone services and Broadband providers to “preserve the ability of law enforcement agencies to conduct court-ordered wiretaps in the face of technological change” (FCC News).
In this instance, “wiretap-able” applies to wireless technology too. Being that the purpose behind this regulation is to track terrorists and criminals for the purpose of “homeland security,” certain Broadband and Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers are to build backdoors into their networks to enable law enforcement wiretaps. The wiretaps must convert technical information, billing information, service destination, call volumes, customer account information, telephone subscriber's records, and service plans agreements into readable formats on demand.
The intent of this regulation is to prevent migration of criminal activity onto networks, phone calls, and the Internet. Even though compliance to this new regulation is challenging, it is one of those necessary evils. Time is running out: Internet phone services and Broadband providers need to send their reports of compliance to the FCC by May 14, 2007.
