VOIP-Tapping

The FBI has asked the FCC to help it get expanded access to the "full pipe" of broadband signals in order to more easily intercept Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) messages that don't route through a central server. That'd leave it to law enforcement to sift through a flood of data in search of the bits they were looking for. (Thanks Jo.)
