Wired: Comcast Hiring Internet Snoop for the Feds
http://blog.wired.com/defense/2008/05/comcast-wants-d.htmlWanna tap e-mail, voice and Web traffic for the government? Well,
here's your chance. Comcast, the country's second-largest Internet
provider, is
looking for an engineer to handle "
reconnaissance" and "analysis" of "subscriber intelligence" for the company's "National Security Operations." 
Day-to-day tasks, the company says in an online job listing, will include "deploy[ing], installing] and remov[ing] strategic and
tactical data intercept equipment on a nationwide basis to meet
Comcast and Government lawful intercept needs." The person in this "intercept engineering" position will help collect and process traffic on the company's "CDV [Comcast Digital Voice], HSI
[High Speed Internet] and Video" services.
Since May 2007, all Internet providers have been required to install gear for easy wiretapping under the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA. Anyone taking this position, Comcast says, will have to be "knowledgeable with ... standards such as CALEA." (The company is all too happy to "intercept its
customers’ communications" for a fee of a thousand dollars, Secrecy News revealed last year.)
