Tom, In my reply to you I proposed taking a measured approach in analyzing, and perhaps synthesizing, the issues of VoIP wiretapping at their root level. In return you've referred me to a firm in Dallas; provided me with two year old article by a freelance computer journalist whose grounding in the law is interesting (fwiw, the FCC does not enact laws); and you've given me the results of a search you performed on two terms, which, on its face, tells me very little other than the fact those two terms appeared in over 500,000 source pages on the Web. Here's a quote from the article you cited, which was one of my main points in my initial reply: "The reaction in the legal community—and technology world—is decidedly mixed." There are no sound bytes that can resolve or even adequately characterize the issues surrounding this subject. That was another point I tried to make to you. It's not one discussion, but many discussions. If it should appear beyond this point that I'm going silent on the matter, it's because I'm hoping others will chime in and address the questions I posed in my earlier reply to you. For what it's worth, I'm not downplaying the importance of this issue. It's one that is just as perplexing to law enforcement as it is to those who view it as a breach of privacy, but for different reasons. FAC ------
