</blockquote></div>I believe CALEA applies primarily to organizations that are ITSPs
(Vonage, for example). Your business doesn't need to provide CALEA if
it's just an end user (IANAL, though). CALEA should be fairly easy to
implement either in Asterisk (with patches) or on the media gateway
(when the call hits the PSTN/GSM network). It's even easier if it's SIP
end to end, as you just need a box to sit in the middle and reinvite
both ends to run through the "monitoring system" as it were.<br>
