The whole bit about carriers being forced to break encryption is daft ... or scaremongering. We've got a pretty good record in this country of not filling our judiciary with gibbering idiots bent on shutting down our infrastructure over a legal technicality. No court is going to require any organisation to do something that is impossible for it to do. You don't need to write that into a specific act; it's a part of the very fabric of the law. This review has been going on for yonks. As I recall, talking to the MED folks a couple of years ago, the major issues were around how interception warrants would be handled by carriers, as the current procedures work for a small number of large players. This was more to do with who in a carrier could be trusted to receive and act on a warrant than with the technical measures required. I too would like to see a sober, technical discussion of exactly what the bill changes. -- don
