| UK MPs are investigating what it will cost ISPs to meet government proposals to log where Britons go online. The House of Commons Science and Technology committee is looking at whether gathering data on net-using citizens is even feasible. It also wants to look into the potential impact that logging browsing will have on how people use the web.
In a notice announcing the inquiry, the Committee said it wanted to find out if it was possible for ISPs to meet the IP Bill's requirements. The text of the Bill asks ISPs to log where people go but not what they do when on a site or using a service. MPs also want to find out how easy it is for ISPs to separate data about a visit to a site from what happens once people log in, because more stringent rules govern who can discover what people do on a site as opposed to the sites they use. The Committee will also look at how much it might cost the providers to do this. The government has said it will provide £175m to ISPs over 10 years to pay for data to be gathered and stored.
Added to this will be the "big issue" of how to meet the need to separate data about the sites people visit from what they do, he said.

I suppose they want cover for what they are already doing...Or what the US is already doing and giving to the Brits.
This bill will make the data they gather admissible in court, as they won’t need a warrant to collect it anymore.
I imagine the NWO wants the same type of system to be implemented worldwide into a shared Beast type network with oversight privileges so they can identify Christian Freedom Fighters for removal at will.

In response to concerns that emerging technologies such as digital and wireless communications were making it increasingly difficult for law enforcement agencies to execute authorized surveillance, Congress enacted CALEA on October 25, 1994. CALEA requires a “telecommunications carrier,” as defined by the CALEA statute, to ensure that equipment, facilities, or services that allow a customer or subscriber to “originate, terminate, or direct communications,” enable law enforcement officials to conduct electronic surveillance pursuant to court order or other lawful authorization. CALEA is intended to preserve the ability of law enforcement agencies to conduct electronic surveillance by requiring that telecommunications carriers and manufacturers of telecommunications equipment design and modify their equipment, facilities, and services to ensure that they have the necessary surveillance capabilities as communications network technologies evolve. Communications services utilizing Circuit Mode equipment and facilities, and communications services utilizing packet mode are all subject to CALEA. In May 2006, the FCC issued a Second Report and Order also requiring facilities-based broadband Internet access providers and providers of interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service to come into compliance with CALEA obligations no later than May 14, 2007.
