Re: Universities overstating cost impact
said by TKJunkMail  :Unless overturned by the Supreme Court, this ruling means that universities, ISP's, etc. must install wiretapping equipment at their own expense so that law enforcement(with a court order) can tap into VOIP, emails, IM's, etc, on internet connections. And so the Department of Homeland security, the IRS, or whomever else can also tap into everything WITHOUT a court order, if they so wish.
Great. I feel safer already.

Well, that's your usual pro-corporation, pro-Bush uninformed-styled crap - they do it.
FYI: that's the point behind the direct fiber split to the NSA, to be able to see everything.. |

I can understand the universities philosophical disagreement.They are after all there to instruct an teach, not do police work or spy on its enrolled students.I can see the Schools admins monitoring the network to keep it operational.
What is being asked here,Is that not unreasonable search and seizure?
However TK, due to the political nature of recent events.I have to agree, with you here
quote:
the Supreme Court, as currently constituted, will uphold this ruling
Not only will the court let it stand, they will see no point of contention to debate its merits, Case closed end of story,is what will happen.

there shouldn't be any tax increase at all, the spending is out of control. There needs to be better accountability, and we need to get these RINOs out of office. |

I totally agree with you and have much to add to this. I am all for being safe which is the federal government's #1 job! (which they seem to loose sight of many a' times) And I agree, "we the people" which is the government need to start making money available for securty vs. the overly funded program of trying to find out why people have buyers remourse when they purchase a vehicle.
If they want to mandate things, they need to be prepared to pay for it - to a reasonable point - and this is one of them. When are "we the people" going to stop allowing our government to 'control' us and start representing us.
The sooner Bush goes, the better off we will be. |

You are going to pay for either way, Taxes or service fee increase. I would rather see the ISP pay for it, it would be more fair for someone who uses it to pay for it... |

I think the FCC is being un-realistic.
Why don't they make a device or devices that can be deployed to do the monitoring. It's them that want to monitor they should fit the bill..
F-it.. I want this paid for directly out of the congressional (fund raising coffers {oops I do mean personal piggybank).
The corruption needs to end.. Corporation need not be able to purchase congress and senators and in turn laws.
Stop the corruption!! |

Because law enforcement may want to tap LOCAL LAN traffic while pursuing a criminal. And AT&T or Qwest or whoever wouldn't see traffic contained within the university lans. And a court order would still apply there too.

said by TKJunkMail :I think the universities are GREATLY overstating the costs of implementing this. Most already have the network mgt tools(sniffers for ex.) in place to do this with little additional costs. I believe they are exaggerating the costs because they have a philosophical disagreement with helping the government and law enforcement to catch students breaking the law. Unless overturned by the Supreme Court, this ruling means that universities, ISP's, etc. must install wiretapping equipment at their own expense so that law enforcement(with a court order) can tap into VOIP, emails, IM's, etc, on internet connections. And I believe the Supreme Court, as currently constituted, will uphold this ruling. Why should universities be forced to do this in the first place? They have peering agreements with outside networks like ATT for example.

I figure if the government wants to wiretap and eavesdrop then they should pay for the cost of implementing the equipment. Philosophical differences aside, why should I have to pay out of pocket because some spook wants to catch kids trading mp3's? Oh...the terrorism thing..okay, well whats not to stop these people from using encrypted protocols to do their business? Then all that money I spent on installing wiretapping equipment for the government to "listen" to Habib's conversation to Abdul in Pakistan is wasted anyway, since the traffic is encrypted...
Either way, the government should pay the costs if that's what they choose to mandate.. |
