Subsentio and the FCC

To amend title 18, United States Code, to make clear a telecommunications carrier's duty to cooperate in the interception of communications for law enforcement purposes, and for other purposes.

More generally, we herein specify mechanisms to ensure that telecommunications carriers comply with CALEA. Specifically, under the express terms of the statute, all carriers subject to CALEA are obliged to become CALEA-compliant.

In 2004 and 2005, Subsentio supplied comments to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and Declaratory Ruling in the matter of Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act and Broadband Access and Services. In those comments, Subsentio accurately addressed the most pressing argument against the ruling; that of the true costs for compliancy based on a Trusted Third Party model.
