"In Europe, the Council of Justice and Home Affairs ministers say logs must be kept for between one and three years. One U.S. industry representative, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Justice Department is interested in at least a two-month requirement"
"A 1996 federal law called the Electronic Communication Transactional Records Act regulates data preservation. It requires Internet providers to retain any "record" in their possession for 90 days "upon the request of a governmental entity."
Why 2 months when you can already get them by making the request and its 90 days worth? I wonder what the ISP would be required to keep in the logs. I mean seriously tracking someone on a network, i dont care if its self contained or ISP is done by default. All the logs you need are already there.
