das sind vielleicht die feuchten Traeume der LEAs, aber ich denke
damit waren ueber die in Antwort 1 ausgefuehrten, moeglichen
Behaltefristen (als "limited period of time") hinausgehende Zeiten
gemeint.

BTW, die Kollegen von EFFi haben zu diesem Thema mittlerweile
eine PE herausgegeben:

Press release

EFFI: Finland proposes extensive data retention while the country's 
largest Telco executives arrested for data misuse

Electronic Frontier Finland - EFFI ry demands the Finnish government to 
change their position regarding the compulsory data retention in 
telecommunications. EFFI's chairman Mikko Välimäki shoots: "According to 
a document we have acquired [http://www.effi.org/eu-2002-11-20.html], 
Finland demands that all telecommunications traffic data inside the EU 
should be retained for two years."

The Finland's largest telecommunications operator Sonera is currently 
under criminal investigation for suspected serious traffic data misuses. 
The police has imprisoned or is requesting an arrest warrant for six 
current or former Sonera executives, including the company's former CEO. 
(See e.g. Helsingin Sanomat 25.11.2002: "Head of Sonera corporate 
communications arrested", http://www.helsinki-hs.net/news.asp?id=20021125IE1)

Välimäki continues: "You might think that the Sonera-case would have 
been a wake-up call for politicians: if data is available, it will be 
misused sooner or later. But no. Finland seems to push forward with 
exceptional Big Brother optimism."
