Story: ISPs, telcos and police voice fears over data retention cost

I was very interested to see your article on compliance: ‘ISPs, telcos and police voice fears over data retention cost'. ISPs should not be wary of these proposals, but rather should be welcoming them. Datanet accepts that it has a corporate social responsibility and that, where required, and for the well being of our clients and the public at large, this responsibility extends to retaining as much information as is reasonable.
As for the issue of cost for ISPs following this directive, the better informed ISPs will know that additional costs for storing such high volumes of data can in fact be re-claimed from the Home Office (refer H.O. letter 8th December 2004 to the ISPA). Other benefits will also come to play: in an effort to reduce unwanted data, ISPs will make a greater effort to reduce spam.
