cryptome: How the FBI Surveils the Net [Official Use Only]

I'm no VoIP buff... but this document seems relevant to those who are:

How the FBI Surveils the Net-Official Use Only
[http://cryptome.org/fbi-cgvop.zip] (a ~400KB zipped PDF file)

It contains the document, "Electronic Surveillance Needs for Carrier-Grade Voice over Packet (CGVoP) Service"

(A version of this document where copying and pasting has been enabled by the why-war folks is here.)

I'm in no way qualified to analyze this document, although I'm sure some VoIP people out ther are... here's the last paragraph of the exec. sum.:

"To facilitate industry interaction, this document captures law enforcements needs regarding LAES [Lawfully authorized electronic surveillance] capabilities for CGVoP [Carrier-Grade Voice over Packet] Service. The document focuses mainly on communication identifying information associated with service-related events that are of interest to law enforcement. The document also addresses law enforcements needs regarding the content of CGVoP communications."
