Mechanics of CALEA taps

[randy.fischer at gmail.com (Randy Fischer)]

Dear nanog:

Honestly, I expect replies to this question to range between zero and none,
but I have to ask it.

I understand the CALEA tap mechanism for most ISPs, generally, works like
this:

 * we outsource our CALEA management to company X
 * we don't even know there's been a request until we've gotten a bill from
X.

And that's the extent of it.

Well, golly Slothrop, maybe someone else has started picking up the tab.
Would you even know?

Is that possible?

Thanks,

Randy Fischer
