When AT&T first responded to the data retention questionnaire, a number of items were left unclear, including whether AT&T had been contacted by the Justice Department about data retention and whether their earlier answers applied to all their ISP offerings, from BellSouth to PacBell. I followed up and their press person was kind enough to run down the answers. They are after the jump, in full, and the spreadsheet has been updated yet again.

Remember though, Threat Level needs your help to get info, since a number of these ISPs are just ignoring our repeated and polite requests. Find out how at this post, which includes a handy mp3 to entertain intreprid citizen journalists and ISP executives alike.

Original AT&T answers.

Does this policy also apply to Pacbell?

Each of our previously provided answers apply to all of our internet service providers, including the former Pacbell.

How long does AT&T (Bellsouth/Pacbell) hold onto IP addresses?

The AT&T internet service providers subsidiaries retain IP address information for varying periods, all of which fall within industry standards.

Has AT&T been contacted by the Justice Department about data retention?

The DOJ has indicated publicly their desire to standardize retention periods and, as previously disclosed, AT&T has expressed that it is willing to discuss those issues on an industry-wide basis. AT&T has not, however, altered any IP retention periods based on the DOJ's statements and initiatives.

And finally, your statement makes clear that AT&T complies with legal processes, but the question was whether AT&T complies with requests from law enforcement or national security agencies that are not accompanied by a subpoena or other legal process?

AT&T complies with requests from law enforcement or other governmental agencies only in accordance with the law, which may include legal process in the form of court orders, subpoenas or other legal or regulatory requirements.
