ISPs Fear SAFETY Act Data Retention Requirements

Beth Pariseau writes for SearchStorage:

Privacy advocates aren't the only ones up in arms over a bill currently being debated in Congress that would require Internet service providers (ISP) to retain records on subscribers.

ISPs themselves are saying the bill contains no clear guidelines for records retention methods or archiving periods for data, and said they are growing nervous about the storage and data management costs that might result if the bill becomes law.
