I know there's more to it than this. I realize this was CALEA's original intent, but I clearly recall around 2004-2005, the various TLA's expanded it to include ISPs. Did a little research of my own and found EFF has a nice primer: https:

I'm against anything involving more information gathering, but I'm curious - can anyone explain how this differs from existing CALEA requirements?

Whitespace is a mess. Uncertain regulatory restrictions, narrow channels, lack of standardization. That said, it's got a lot of potential for specific uses, as this article shows. The CSMA congestion problem already exists in the WISP wor
