Dutch Internet service provider XS4ALL is suing the Dutch government for the cost of making its network accessible to law enforcement. Under Dutch laws, ISPs can claim the administrative cost of individual wiretaps, but not the cost of equipment enabling them, and XS4ALL says it has spent €500,000 making its network accessible to police. The company says it wants to set a precedent for who pays for law enforcement, and it claims ISPs in other European countries are fully reimbursed for the expense of installing wiretaps.
