Coalition Seeks Delay In Net Wiretapping Rules

Press release: “CDT joined with a coalition of industry and public interest groups this week to urge the Federal Communications Commission to delay its controversial Internet wiretapping rules. In comments filed with the FCC [6 pages, PDF, filed January 30, 2006], the groups requested that the commission push back the effective date of the rule requiring that that broadband Internet and interconnected voice-over Internet Protocol (VOIP) services be designed to make government wiretapping easier. CDT, which is also involved in a court challenge against the ruling, supports the delay because the FCC set a deadline for VoIP and broadband providers to modify their networks but failed to specify what modifications were required.”
