WASHINGTON, D.C. – A recent demand from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to extend federal wiretapping requirements to some internet services is likely to result in court battles, legal experts say.

Privacy and communications freedom advocacy groups such as The Center for Democracy and Technology and the Electronic Frontier Foundation are considering legal challenges to an August 5th Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision to require providers of certain interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and broadband services to accommodate law enforcement wiretaps in their product designs and applications.
