[AusNOG] (Meta-)Data Retention

[Matt Perkins]

Im with Ross on this one. Let's give them a mirror port and they can 
make their own arrangement's the cost of this to most at the egress 
points would be minimal I would think.

Then <insert new agency> would need to build fiber to every ISP   and 
store it all. When the government say. We cant do that it's to 
expensive. Then they have made their own argument for why we cant do it .

Case solved.

I also wonder what the penalties are for loosing all this data. Does it 
need to be backed up / Diverse / SLA ? ? What if it's hacked ?   Can I 
go to jail because ASIO want's something from 1.5 years ago and I go to 
get it and the disk's died. ?

Matt.
