So you think terrorists and criminals have their own exclusive ISP's? Don't recall where I read about the requirement for ISP's to store mail, but it makes sense to me. We are in a "Big Brother" state now - all e_mails are vetted for critical key-words and flagged up to the security services already.
It's only possible to stop out-going e_mail if one has admin rights/access to the Local server, and e_mail is batch processed. As you say, usually within minutes, as such batches are normally processed several times an hour.
i dont remember stating or implying that terrorists and criminals have their own exclusive ISP's.. and to be honest i really wouldnt know.
it seems to me...and please forgive me if i'm wrong, but, from the original post, that your trying to shift some of your responsibility in deleting THAT mail over to ntl.
dont get me wrong...i dont subscribe to the 'ntl can do no wrong' brigade, far...FAR from it. just seems ...to me anyways.. that your trying to attach some blame to ntl for your actions. and to an extent i may agree with your reasoning behind ISP's storing all emails.. in my opinion it would be impractical for any Home broadband provider to do this...
