While most ISP's may not want to be responsible for monitoring
transmissions, check out a portion of an agreement from mine.
(I haven't and won't sign such an agreement, may therefore be
terminated at month's end.)
"4.1 PCIX may elect to electronically monitor any and all
traffic which passes over our Wide Area Network. This
monitoring may include public as well as private communications
and data transfers from our Members and to our Members as well
as any and all communications and data transfers to and from
any other internet sites. .... The monitoring and disclosure
activities of PCIX may negate the privacy protections which
the Member would otherwise enjoy under federal and state law,
including the Electronic Privacy Communications Act. Member
specifically agrees that PCIX may do so and Member understands
that he or she is giving up privacy rights which he or she
would otherwise be entitled to under the law."
Hope this isn't the start of a trend!
