DOJ and FBI Seek Regulation of VoIP Due to National Security

From today’s LA Times (reg. req’d), FBI Seeks Wiretap Capabilities for Phone Calls Made Over the Internet. As I posted yesterday, FCC Commissioner Powell released a strong statement opposing regulation of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). According to the Times article, DOJ officials maintain that such a position would “jeopardize the ability of federal, state and local governments to protect public safety and national security against domestic and foreign threats.”
