Another point about CALEA is that you don't *have* to have infrastructure i=
n place in advance of the order. You simply have to provide Law Enforcement=
the wiretaps they are asking for -- however you accomplish it. You don't n=
eed to solve for every case, just the case they ask of you at the time. Thi=
s keeps the cost of compliance way down (provided you don't need these for =
a significant percentage of your user base).=20
