Imagine the furor if the Government ordered Telstra to record all
calls. Stricly for
Police use only. One thing that concerns me about the rush to build
the NBN is what LE intercept hooks might be in it. WI-FI LEI in every
router for listening from the comfort of their desks FBI style? The
copper network offers some privacy because Mr Plod and 13 yo Mitnick
wanna  be's need physical access. But not with Skype or Netphone. So
should we trust Herr Government? Might we end finding more bugs than a
US Moscow embassy in our fibre?
