Government authorities serving Comcast, the largest cable operator and second largest ISP in the United States, with wiretap requests under federal wiretap statutes are required to pay $1,000 per request, with a service fee of $750 each month after, says a recently leaked copy of the Comcast Cable Law Enforcement Handbook (PDF).

The document, which is presumably given to law enforcement personnel involved in investigations, notes several other interesting policies regarding Comcast’s compliance: in one example, FBI agents are required to hand-deliver National Security Letters to Comcast’s headquarters, located in Philadelphia.

Well it looks like a lot of talk about comcast lately.
