Home Secretary Urges Email Data Retention

A year or more ago I was a bit of a thorn in ntl's side because I didn't agree with their policy of deleting customer's email on a regular basis.

It seemed absurd that we only get to keep 90 days (although for me it seems more like 30 days) of emails. Here's a quote from the user policy
Quote:
any emails (whether read or unread) kept on our servers will automatically be deleted after 90 days.
I argued that it's useful to be able to store internet shopping receipts / passwords (at your own risk) or basically anything that you'd like to keep a record of by creating a folder "saved items" in your ntlworld email account.

Now the Home Secretary is urging ISP's to retain email data for 6 months in order to track terrorists.

Well hey, ntl, perhaps if you're going to store the data anyway you can at least let us have access to our own emails (you bunch of cheap ******** ?

Further, I'd like to see ntl having a mailbox size limit but no time limits at all.

What do you think?
