Proposed changes to data retention laws will have major cost and privacy
implications for UK ISPs.
The Data Communications Bill announced last week will require ISPs to store
and make available to law enforcers every form of electronic communication made
over their networks.
“I am concerned over costs, as well as the infringement of privacy,” said
Adrian Kennard, director of ISP Andrews and
Arnold.
“It depends what ‘communications data’ needs to be retained and in what
circumstances.”
ISPs should not be surprised, said Gareth Niblett, head of data security at
ISP K-Com Group.
“There is either an ignorance on the part of ISPs that this is coming around
the corner, or there is a head-in-the-sand mentality,” he said.
“K-Com already stores 110 million records per day.”
