Revision dated December 21, 2007 From Our “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” Department Reuters reports that at least one telephone company has discontinued international wiretaps placed under the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) failed to pay its phone bills. According to an audit conducted by the Justice Department’s Inspector General, “late payments have resulted in telecommunications carriers actually disconnecting phone lines established to deliver surveillance results to the FBI, resulting in lost evidence, including an instance where delivery of intercept information required by a…FISA order was halted due to untimely payment.” The Inspector General’s audit reportedly followed a 2006 case in which an FBI employee pleaded guilty to the theft of more than $25,000 earmarked for undercover telecom services. Responding to the audit findings, the FBI acknowledges that its accounting system is inadequate, but says that “the FBI will not tolerate financial mismanagement.” Telcordia Standards Update Telcordia has announced the release of the following standards (additional information is available at www.telcordia.com): • GR-3112, Issue 5, Emergency Services Network Connection • GR-3155, Issue 1, Generic Requirements for Microducts for Fiber Optic Cables • SR-1171, Issue 2, Methods and Procedures for System Reliability Analysis Did You Know that you can research EMC, Product Safety, Telecom, ESD and Environmental - specific products and services to assist you in your compliace efforts using Conformity’s online Buyer’s Guide?
