It is much more complicated than that. You have several things which the CALEA standard addresses.<\/p>\n<p>1.The ability to send multiple streams, in real time, to different law enforcement agencies.<br \/>\n2.The ability to not interrupt the connection to a person of interest. \u00a0In other words you don&#8217;t want to interrupt their connection to insert a piece of hardware.<br \/>\n3.The ability to provide just the information on the warrant. \u00a0Too much information can actually violate the court order.<br \/>\n4.There is a difference between a typical &#8220;request for information&#8221; warrant and a CALEA request. \u00a0These are not the same. \u00a0CALEA almost always comes from a federal agency. They are expecting you to be compliant with CALEA.<\/p>\n<p>Now, here is where things get a little subjective. \u00a0The FBI has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/askcalea.fbi.gov\/\">https:\/\/askcalea.fbi.gov\/<\/a>\u00a0which is linked from the above fcc.gov web-site. \u00a0The askcalea web-site has not been updated since 2011. \u00a0The service provider login and service provider registration simply does not work. The information about CALEA is pretty outdated.<\/p>\n<p>So what does this mean for you as a small ISP?
