Appeals Court Backs Bush on Wiretaps
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Appeals Court Backs Bush on Wiretaps (ID: CSD4436)
Author(s):Pete Yost (Associated Press)
Source:San Jose Mercury News
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2006)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:A federal appeals court has ruled against a challenge to an expansion of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) to cover network traffic. CALEA requires providers of telecommunications services to make their systems available to law enforcement for authorized wiretapping. The FCC has sought to expand CALEA to cover Internet networks also. The appeals court ruled 2-1 that the FCC is permitted to apply CALEA to networks. A coalition representing higher education had challenged the expansion of CALEA, saying that the law was not written with data networks in mind and that such an expansion would impose considerable costs on higher education for compliance.Speaking for the majority, Judge David Sentelle said the FCC'sinterpretation of CALEA to cover data networks was reasonable. Judge Harry Edwards, who dissented in the opinion, said the FCC discounted an exemption in the law for information services.

FCC Chief Backs Net Phone Taxes
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:FCC Chief Backs Net Phone Taxes (ID: CSD4330)
Author(s):Anne Broache (CNET News.com)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2005)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:Chairman Kevin Martin said that imposing new taxes on more Internet phone users will probably be a priority next year for the FCC. The issue arose with regard to the Universal Service Fund (USF), which subsidizes services in rural and other high-cost areas, schools, and libraries. Long-distance, pay, wireless, and regular telephone services pay into the fund. Not determined are how such taxes will affect voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) providers and other telecommunications services. Some of the companies that provide VoIP services already contribute to the USF, but no regulations require such participation."We need to move to collection for the Universal Service Fund that is technology-neutral," said Martin. Congress also is expected to address changes to universal service reform in 2006.
