Slippery slope, as a Carrier we have to retain such data, if collected in the normal operation of our business for something like 3 years... Things like data collected for billing records, protection of our network, clients and connected carriers all has specific minimal legal retention periods on it, with pretty stiff fines if you don't have it when it is asked for. Furthermore we have 48 hours to produce any of this data when it is requested by court order so we have to manage that massive pile carefully :-(. Though we are allowed to charge a small bounded fee for retreaving it, that fee no where near compensates for the needed storage of such data, we have to pass that on to the customer, and are allowed to under law. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
