So what's the prospect for implementation? The claim is that law enforcement is supposed to have a back door to every computer system. Are we talking about escrow of root passwords, or what?
No. There are two points:
1) The network operators have to create a wiretapping system to be approved by the Regulation Authority, and operate dedicated digital lines for law enforcement access. As I understand it, Internet providers could be forced to duplicate IP packets to that line, when wiretapping has been ordered.
Sounds like US and Swedish law. What's the phase-in period?
2) They have to keep files of customer data (name, address, etc.) that the Regulation Authority can access secretly at any time.
Sounds like a market opportunity. -rich
