FCC CALEA Order Challenges Continue
Roy Mark writes in internetnews.com:
The Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) decision to expand wiretap accessibility requirements to broadband providers and Internet telephone companies continued to come under legal fire today.
Fewer than 24 hours after the Center for Democracy and Technology announced it plans to challenge the FCC's ruling, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) said it has similar intentions.
Both organizations question the FCC's legal authority to extend the Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) to the Internet. CALEA requires all telephone companies to build surveillance backdoors into their networks, but specifically exempts information services, such as cable modem and DSL services.
