Baker, the CALEA attorney at Steptoe and Johnson, said: "It would be very difficult to set up a network so that you could only intercept voice packets and not the others.
By lobbying the FCC, the bureau is essentially seeking to expand the scope of CALEA, which says telecommunications services must ensure that their equipment and facilities are capable of "expeditiously isolating and enabling the government, pursuant to a court order or other lawful authorization," to intercept all communications from a specific customer.

 The Jeff Pulver Blog: WARNING: The FCC Extends CALEA's reach to the Internet
It seems that the CALEA rules might actually extend beyond "interconnected" VoIP services and arguably apply more broadly to services that traverse the Internet and are simply "capable" of touching the PSTN.
One illogical point (which creeps into all of the recent efforts to regulate IP-based communications) is that the regulatory hook used to impose CALEA on the Internet is the fact that the IP application being intercepted is the "voice" application.
And *if* CALEA requires that it not be obvious to the caller that it's being tapped, then ALL calls will have to go through a proxy.

 Big Brother's Last Mile
But because the local phone company was subject both to FCC jurisdiction and to CALEA, dial-up access was implicitly covered as well: to accomplish its purposes of intercepting communications pursuant to a court order, the FBI only had to capture the communication at the POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line, and the problem was solved.
Essentially, the FCC concluded that CALEA can't force website operators to design their systems to reveal the IP addresses or identity of people who visit the site, but could force ISPs not only to reveal the identical information, but also to design the system to enable law enforcement to reveal the information.
It is important to note that this expansion of CALEA was not needed to compel the ISPs to comply with a lawful subpoena.

CALEA, the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, requires that U.S. carriers provide Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) with the continued ability to perform electronic surveillance with existing and new telecommunications switching equipment.

Technical requirements or standards for CALEA capabilities have been established for several categories of telecommunications by industry associations or standard-setting organizations, in consultation with representatives of the law enforcement community.

 TIA | Policy & Advocacy: Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (CALEA)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Essentially, the FCC found that all entities previously classified as common carriers are subject to CALEA, while providers of "information services" are not (though it failed to define these services).
Finally, TIA has urged the FBI to pursue efforts to ensure that adequate funding is available to meet the CALEA mandate and, to that end, continues to offer its support and assistance to the FBI, Department of Justice and Congress.
In the alternative, if the Commission concludes that J-STD-025 is “deficient” in any respect, it should not adopt specific CALEA compliance standards, but should indicate the areas of deficiency and return to TIA the task of setting such standards.
