Blue Box ETel2006 Podcast #2: Brad Templeton of EFF on CALEA

Synopsis: Presentation by Brad Templeton, Chairman of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, at O'Reilly's Emerging Telephony Conference on January 26, 2006

---

Welcome a special edition of Blue Box: The VoIP Security Podcast from the floor of the Emerging Telephony Conference in San Francisco, CA. In this presentation, Brad Templeton, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), channels his "evil twin" and uses humor and sarcasm to attack the recent FCC ruling applying CALEA to VoIP Service Providers, hits the Universal Service Fund, announces a lawsuit and rips into wiretapping.  It was quite an entertaining and humorous - yet serious - session.

We thank Brad Templeton and the conference team at O'Reilly for giving us permission to make this recording available to you all.

Ellie,

The next Emerging Telephony conference will be Feb 27-Mar 1, 2007 in San Francisco. You can learn more at http://conferences.oreillynet.com/etel2007/

I don't know if Brad Templeton will be there, but I'm sure the speaker roster will be a good one (and yes, we'll be broadcasting from there as well).

Regards,
Dan
