Discussed here in July. Now in the mainstream media - e.g:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/07/detica_interception_modernisation/
"Billions of pounds of public money will soon be up for grabs for private
IT contractors ready to serve the Interception Modernisation Programme -
UK spy chiefs' plan to store details of every call, email, text and web
browsing session."
Although the word "interception" is used a lot, it looks to me like
they're really talking about traffic data - and lots of it.
