| I smell a rat! If the FCC isn't going to actually do ANYTHING, then these Router taps amount to nothing more than more spying by Uncle Sam!
What's the point of collecting data, when you are not going to use it for anything useful?

| If they were going to inject spying software into the firmware, then they wouldn't do it this way. They'd inject it into the stock firmware at the manufacturer. Or, better yet, they'd monitor the backbones. Oh yeah, they already are.
My guess is that they're going to get the data back from these things and then report that, although bandwidth isn't always up to what's promised, it's close enough. Then they'll ask the ISP's to do better, the ISP's will say they'll try, and not a damn thing will change. |

| I'm fairly sure that a government that has compliance of all major phone companies to deliver data/voice wholesale to the NSA don't need to inject crapware into a piddly 20k routers being tracked by a UK monitoring firm. |

My point is; AT&T and Verizon own the FCC. Any benefit from this data collection will be theirs not the public's. So why is tax payer money being spent on these gadgets?
And, if all this data can be had from the ISPs, and is already available, then what's the point?

Gotta love AT&T. ......and NSA too. Technically its the NSA monitoring... AT&T just rolled over when asked to place a tap... and they got a great gift for it in return. They have immunity from ever being prosecuted for violating customer's rights. Imagine all the data they have collected that they can use without any worries of being held accountable for it. |

00000 | Correct. Qwest is a company that did not roll over and hand customer data to the NSA in exchange for financial gain. |

Sum body jerking sum bodies chain and privacy is totally out the window. |
