A month or two ago, I searched through the existing DT statute and posted language that could be interpreted as applying to ISPs. If there's an ISP exemption I missed, please post...
I originally read that ISP's were exempt from a Wired article in the February '96 issue. I did some searching on EFF's web site and found the text of the 1994 draft of DT. The bill says that information services and private networks are exempt from the requirements of subsection (a). I have no idea what subsection a is, but a seperate analysis by the EFF does say that the bill does not apply to Internet Service Providers. Maybe there is some section of the bill that does cover ISP's, but I don't think it is anything relating to facilitating wiretapping. I found this information at http://www.eff.org/pub/Privacy/Digital_Telephony_FBI.
