Brand/names: ENFOPOL und CALEA  
 
Während die ENFOPOL-Überwachungspläne hier zu  
Kontinents in geschlossenen Komitees zwischen den  
Telekoms, ihren Ausrüstern und den gesetzlich ermächtigten  
Behörden klammheimlich standardisiert & ausgemauschelt  
werden - geht es in den USA etwas anders zu.  
 
Dieweil ENFOPOL nur die interne Bezeichnung für alle  
internen Dokumente der EU Police Cooperation Working  
Group ist und weder Vorhaben, noch Gesetz noch eine  
Gruppe bezeichnet, trägt das US-Gegenstück  
[Communications Assistance Law Enforcement Act] nicht  
nur ein eigenes Branding.  
 
Als wären es neue Features für "value added services"  
unterhält man die PR-Website askcalea.net, die über neue  
Implementationen von Abhörmitteln informiert. Dazu gibts  
eine kostenlosen Newsletter, der verwandte Nachrichten aus  
dem Telekombereich zusammenfasst.
