• The First Report and Order gave newly covered providers 18 months from its November 14, 2005 effective date to come into compliance. in context
• FCC 05-153 was adopted on August 5, 2005, released on September 23, 2005, and took effect on November 14, 2005. in context
• In its 2005 First Report and Order (FCC 05-153), the FCC concluded that CALEA applies to providers of interconnected VoIP service and facilities-based broadband Internet access. in context
• The FCC based CALEA coverage of interconnected VoIP on CALEA's substantial replacement provision, which allows it to treat providers as CALEA carriers even when they are not telecommunications carriers under the Communications Act. in context
• The 2005 order said that private networks, and establishments that acquire broadband access to serve their patrons, are not facilities-based broadband Internet access providers covered by CALEA. in context
• For broadband providers the FCC applied CALEA only to the switching and transmission component; information-service components such as storage, web hosting and DNS remain excluded. in context
• For CALEA, the FCC covered VoIP services that enable real-time two-way voice, require a broadband connection from the user's location, require IP-compatible CPE, and let users receive calls from and terminate calls to the PSTN. in context
• The FCC held that interconnected VoIP is not covered by CALEA's information services exclusion. in context
• The 2005 order's VoIP holding was limited to interconnected VoIP; it did not extend CALEA to VoIP services that are not interconnected with the PSTN. in context
