Note that I am assuming the willingness of the phoneco to be UNCOOPERATIVE, at least according to "the spirit of the rules." They could still cooperate according to the LETTER of the law.

It's in the phone company's best interest to be cooperative. *but* in the case of, say, an internet privacy provider, it is in the provider's best interest to be uncooperative.

I would PREFER that I be able to legally obligate my service provider (and phone co) to provide only that level of cooperation which is actually, literally, legally required. I would like to be able to know that if my service is tapped in some way, I receive a letter de-certifying the previous state of non-tapped-ness that it possessed.
