Does anybody knowanything about this?
Shouldn't every country have a hotline like
this?
Should it be organized by trade organizations?

Wiretap legal hotline established

TRADE ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTING most of the world's
largest Internet backbone operators and service
providers have established a hotline where operators
can get legal advice when they receive U.S. federal
government wiretap requests. Callers to the hotline
will be referred to independent lawyers experienced
in electronic surveillance and law enforcement issues,
the organizations said in a joint statement Wednesday.
The hotline will be established by the Commercial
Internet eXchange (CIX) and Internet Service Providers'
Consortium (ISP/C), which have announced plans to
combine their operations, and the ISP Business Forum.
