Voice Coding Controls
DM notes of the BXA Wassenaar rule for voice coding:
After looking at some of the Wassenaar docs, I was
surprised to see that the CCL wants to regulate speech
encoders that operate at less than 2400 bps. Surprising
because it was encoding, not encryption, that was being
regulated. This is disturbing.
This at first seemed to put some of the Nautilus development
team's software in jeopardy, but I believe that by the letter
of the law (or regulation) that all coders in Nautilus are not
subject to the CCL, as they only go as low as 2400 bps
and not less than.
