 FBI seeks Internet telephony surveillance
Free World Dialup has been called "Napster for Phones." It's a free service aimed at developing Internet telephony as a mainstream alternative to the public switched telephone network.
It turns out that one of the regulations from which FWD would be incidentally exempt is the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), the federal law that required telecommunications carriers to modify their networks to be wiretap-friendly for the FBI.
Indeed, extending CALEA to cover Free World Dialup and services like it would likely be futile, says Ofir Arkin, founder of Sys-Security Group and an expert on IP telephony security.

Now, what's being demanded is that this kind of service, too, should be subjected to the federal law known as CALEA, which, since 1994, forces every telecommunication service provider to make possible for the FBI to intercept every communication passing on their networks.

 ActiveWin.com - FCC 'Frees' Free World Dialup VoIP Service
The Federal Communications Commission took a baby step forward in Voice over Internet Protocol regulation today, by ruling that the Free World Dialup service was not subject to traditional voice-service regulations.
While proponents of VoIP were quick to hail the decision as a move toward keeping the technology free of regulation, FCC chairman Michael Powell and other commissioners made it clear that more-robust VoIP services that connect to the circuit-switched voice networks may be subject to the regulations and fees imposed on existing voice services.
"While IP-enabled services should remain free from traditional monopoly regulation, rules designed to ensure law enforcement access, universal service, disability access, and emergency 911 service can and should be preserved in the new architecture," said Powell in a statement.

The commissioners voted 4-1 to take one small step by agreeing for now to Pulver.com's request to classify its Free World Dialup Internet telephone service as one that prevents it from being heavily regulated.
FCC Commissioner Michael Copps opposed the decision stating that it was premature and that issues regarding wiretapping and national security needed to be resolved first.
Analysts do not expect many decisions by the FCC on the broader issues until after the presidential election and any decision could be challenged in court, as is often the case with telecommunications regulations.
