Now that the FCC has ruled that VoIP providers need to be CALEA compliant by early 2007, do you think Digium or some developers will implement something to easily make Asterisk CALEA compliant?
I’m not fully sure what’s required for CALEA compliance, but it’d really be great if there was something that didn’t require lots of $$$.
And I’m assuming that ChanSpy alone is not enough to make Asterisk CALEA compliant.

Monitor()
/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv
should be building blocks enough to satisfy BIG BROTHER-like surveillance ambitions?
Lots of additional horse power required for that, running voice through the boxes especially. Activating Monitor() on demand should not be an issue if it’s isolated.
i’m sure at some point there will be some sort of CALEA or similar type of functionality required, but until the law is made crystal clear, i’m not going to worry.
What I gather from this is its not the FCC’s job to change the jurisdiction of CALEA covers because it expressly prohibits internet/information services at this point?
A question to the people who want this sort of thing implemented for Asterisk, would you want the intercepted calls to be sent to the LEA’s via a T1/E1 card in the asterisk box or via a Media gateway? Either way it should be doable.
I am seriously considering developing this beast.
I think the important thing is to make sure what ever work is done will provide the “punch list” of items that is going to be required. It seems like this list is not quite finalized.
