Could Your VoIP Phone Be Wiretapped?

Court upholds ruling requiring Internet phone providers to offer wiretapping capabilities to law enforcement agencies.

WASHINGTON -- A U.S. Federal Communications Commission ruling requiring VoIP providers to give law enforcement agencies wiretapping capabilities is legal, a court ruled today.

"This ruling threatens both civil liberties and technology innovation," CDT Policy Director Jim Dempsey said in an e-mail. "This decision threatens the privacy rights of innocent Americans as well as the ability of technology companies to innovate freely."

VOIP takes data as packets through the Internet Cloud only right and hence the security level is as good as the current Internet Security levels.

Data Integrity and Best Efficiency can be in circuit switched networks and also in GSM or CDMA.

With reference to security of data, I guess, CDMA should be the best bet choice.

I know @ 17 yrs any person wouldn't be matured enough to make a big decision like this. But thank God my choice was perfect :) Even now, very often we used to think about the past and laugh at our behaviors/actions then. My love story would be really interesting (at least for me and Sai :)) and I am sure none of you guys would be interested in reading about it so lemme not get into it in-depth. But one thing which I want to share is "Without Sai, I wouldn't have entered into the IT field at all". She was instrumental in convincing me to study my Master's degree in Computer Application. That's the move that changed my career. Till my schooling, my dream was to either become a "big" sportsman (Cricket and Badminton were my favorites at that time.) or an Aeronautics engineer. Unfortunately, my l...

What should one look @ while buying a land in chennai?

Offlate people have started thinking about investing their money in lands. I too think that to be a wise decision only! As most of us know buying a land in chennai (for that matter any where in the world) isn't an easy affair. I was just wondering what all one needs to look at before deciding to purchase a land.

Because to my knowledge its illegal to build residential houses on lands meant for irrigation. 2. Encumberance Certificate -- This is what is shortly refered as "EC". One needs to get an EC from local sub registrar office (i guess we need pay a small amount for this). From this we / our lawyers :) can find out whether the guy who ...

What a coincidence!

Whenever Sai lakshmi (my wife) returns home after staying for few days in my in-laws place it would rain (atleast drizzle) here in Ramavaram. Now its 10:15 PM here in Chennai and its raining. Yes today morning only she came back to our house from my in-laws place :) I know its mere coincidence but I am really surprised this is happening for more than 2 years now :) Have any such coincidence happened in your life?
