| Watching me... Oh, great. So what, the ISPs are going to forward all my mail to themselves? What about all my paid porn passwords, are they going to get them to? So much for secure websites, pgp signatures, and any other online security tools. Don't they understand that this will make identity theft even easier?? |

Stevensville, MD | Your problem is you assume they care. Even though they will probably fight it to "protect consumer rights" or in plain English they don't want to pay to keep all that information for so long. |

| "they don't want to pay to keep all that information for so long."
Does the DOJ realize how much information that would be? Your talking terabytes worth of log files and for what to catch criminals? This leads to too much information.
I certainly dont want my Instant Messaging, email and browsing to be archived...thats like recording every phone conversation I have without telling me before hand. This $hit wreaks of invasion of privacy.
Leave that thing alone

If they had to compete with thousands of network providers having to each buy TeraBytes of storage to satisfy the DoJ... Well, there's only so much production capacity out there. Either the DoJ's not going to be satisfiable or the NSA's not going to be able to do their yearly storage acquisitions.

Loveland, CO | I would imagine production will rise to increased demand. If you are mass storage mfgr, and you are flooded with new contracts, you are going to scramble and do everything you can to keep up. |

However, there is only so much factory floor space and the amount of time necessary to build new factories is not trivial.
