      Warum es wirklich Grund zu Optimismus gibt, belegen zwei  
Artikel des jederzeit empfehlenswerten Industry Standard.  
Zum einen kündigen holländische ISPs bereits an, für  
Zwangsspeicherung von Daten und Installation von  
Überwachungsequipment 20 Prozent auf ihre Rechnungen  
aufschlagen zu müssen. 
 
Zum anderen erklärt der zuständige EU Kommissar Vitorino,  
man habe zu sehr auf die Hilfe "Law Enforcement" und  
zuwenig auf jener der Communities bei der Bekämpfung von  
Cyber-Crime gesetzt.  
 
post/scrypt: Wer aus der Partie hat da schon wieder ein  
"pereat" hingespuckt?

Dutch ISPs to Pass Along Cybercrime Costs  
 
The service providers say that they need monitoring  
equipment, and that they will hike the price of Web access in  
the Netherlands by 20 to 25 percent.

AMSTERDAM  Possibly setting a European precedent,  
Internet service providers in the Netherlands say costs for  
Internet access will rise significantly because of cyber-crime  
regulation. 
 
The Dutch ISPs say they are forced to install expensive  
network monitoring equipment. The cost for a medium-size  
access provider will be around $600,000, and larger ISPs  
would face higher expenses, said the association of Dutch  
Internet service providers, the Vereniging van Nederlandse. 
 
"As a result the cost of Internet access will rise 20 to 25  
percent," said Hans Leemans, director of the NLIP. The  
deadline for installing the equipment is April. 
 
According to a 1998 telecom act, Dutch ISPs are required to  
make their networks ready for surveillance by law  
enforcement. A draft convention on cyber crime prepared by  
the Council of Europe proposes similar legislation. 
 
"If the convention is taken literally, then the potential  
implications are enormous," said Joe McNamee, spokesman  
for EuroISPA, the association of Internet service providers in  
the European Union. Besides buying monitoring equipment,  
ISPs would have to buy storage hardware. "That would make  
it even more expensive," Leemans said. 
 
Making the customer pay is only natural, McNamee said. "If  
the government doesn't foot the bill, I don't know where else  
the money would come from."
