front page of the Saturday NYT.

They are going to legislate the Digital Telephony Initiative or the 
kinder, gentler, version thereof.  Telecoms customers will get to pay 
$300+ million to tap themselves.  The Klinton proposal is alleged to be

it's meaningless since virtually all future voice and data services will 
be delivered over "private networks."
