AT&T started to collaborate with AT&T [NSA] to take part in unlawful eavesdropping on American citizens in 1984, shortly after (literally minutes) the division of what was AT&T took place that year. Due to the ECI relationship, the technicians for AT&T had to possess a Top Secret security clearance to actually just access the fiber, because they might "accidentally" discover the tap, or discover data being diverted out of the fiber optic multiplexers. By the way, "ECI" means that the company is given a code name to conceal their involvement in illegal activities. For example, AT&T has a code name, MCI has a code name, Sprint has one, and so on. The ECI codename for AT&T is "FAIRVIEW" and also US-990, but pay attention to the US-990 SIGAD code and it tends to indicate when a code and alias was initiated. US-990 dates from the day AT&T was broken up. On that date, each of the "baby bells" was given a ECI codename and SIGAD code name in the manner of that of AT&T. The ECI BLARNEY was initiated on AT&T prior to the breakup, and it referes to the 1977 and 1978 era fiber optic switches that serviced regions, but which also routed international calls to undersea cables. BLARNEY was the pre-AT&T network, and after the AT&T break-up, BLARNEY remained in place for FISA reasons, then a new ECI was created called FAIRVIEW for the newly-born AT&T that handles undersea fiber optics. But, BLARNEY was still the program for FISA intercepts on AT&T until the Clinton Era CALEA program. Of course by that time MCI and Sprint were major carriers, and both were assigned an ECI for domestic facilities, and then a different ECI for undersea fiber optics. As each fiber optic company sought a new undersea cable landing license from the FCC they were required by the NSA to enter into a classified contract with the NSA for TWO access point for each undersea cable. The first access point had to be right at the optical multiplexer which duplicated the optical pulse into the undersea cable, and then a second into a fiber optic cable that fed NSA gear. Then, behind the multiplexer and the switching systems a second access point where the signals exited the cable station to enter the AT&T, Sprint, MCI, etc backbones. In this manner the NSA had access to all data entering or exiting the cable landing station form the United States (illegally), but they also had access to the cable as it left the United States. The reason for TWO access points is that data can be relayed form cable station to cable station without exiting the cable station other then to hop through the cable station and the data in this case never hits the backbone. Then there is data sent to a cable station via an ocean route that is routed from another cable station but without access the network backbone. In each case it creates a "relay effect" where the cable stations are not "routing through" the station as normal traffic, but is going round-robin from station to station. For example, someone in England can launch data out of London, to an undersea cable to Long Island, which bounces it underseas to NJ, and then undersea to Florida, and thence to Cuba without the packets ever entering the domestic backbones of the carriers. So, for the NSA to operate the most effective network access they have to hit both the front side and the back side of the undersea cable stations. Additionally, as there has been some resistance and push back from the carrier from time to time, the NSA, operating through fake FBI search warrants issued under FISA has had installed on domestic backbones a fiber optic tap on each side on the cable landing stations, but these intercept points are only suitable when the 1983 to 2001 era carriers were "uncooperative" and they started asking 4th Amendment related questions. Once 9/11/2001 happened, the Executive branch and the Legistative Branch bullshit each other to such a massive level that the Patriot Act was passed (which was done unlawfully), but it forced each of the carriers to provide full access to all billing records, all account records, all switching records, dual access to all forms of transmission, and the establishment of special ECI SIGAD codes across every potential carrier of any signal, of any type, at any time, with no warrant, and no showing of probable cause. The next question down the list should be what is the name given to MCI and what is the SIGAD, and then Comcast, Sprint, and so on. Clue1: There were FIVE companies who just after 9/11 were blackmailed by the Oversight Committee on Intelligence into cooperating with the NSA without ANY warrants being issued. AT&T is one, then MCI, and so on. There are many questiones to be asked. -jma

For those list members who have an interest in such things legally prohibited wide scale national eavesdropping systems, I offer the attached AT&T Infrastrucure map which shows the locations of AT&T undersea fiber optic landing systems, and shore-based routers and switching associated with the network, and can link each and every icon on this map to a specific AT&T facility, and no company other then AT&T runs on this network. Also a 4ESS is an electronic switch made by AT&T and used by AT&T in their core infrastructure. The light or dark green dots are AT&T underseas cable stations, note the configuation in Hawaii and Puerto Rico, and then the extremely high desnisty cable landing on the New Jersey Coast line, and which feed right into the SCIF control point right next to the cable landing systems (code named PineCone). AT&T is also known by the ECI codeword of "Fairview" I should also mention that none of this is actually classified, as the system described if part of an illegal eavesdroppign systems, in contravetion of the 4th Amendment, and by law faux-classified marking may not be used to claim that an unlawful actitivity is "classified" because to put it bluntly, if an illegal system is used for illegal surveillance, and anybody tries to hide it by claiming it is "classified" the classification is instantly nullified and it becomes utter unclassified, as classifications can not be used to cover up illegal eavesdroppign programs.
