One wonders if any of the member state implementations of the directive will seek to penalize the provision or use of such services under an "induce" or other standard. ...JZ Jonathan Zittrain Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation Oxford University Jack N. and Lillian R.

Smith <rms@private> To: <bendrath@private-berlin.de> CC: 'Declan McCullagh' <declan@private>, 'Richard M. Smith' <rms@private> Hi Ralf, Do you have sense how long wireless carriers are typically keeping around call data today without there being any kind of government mandate? Also, with cellphones, location data is available even when a call is not being made. Will this location data also have to kept around under the proposed law?
