Owen,

Afraid not. As of this time there are no data retention requirements in
CALEA. There is a proposal to add data retention to CALEA this year, but
I can't even find anything indicating the legislation has been
introduced.

According to an article in the NY Times last fall, the FBI will be asking
for several new tools in CALEA that include data retention requirements,
requiring P2P software to allow intercept and requiring that providers
dong encryption (e.g. Blackberry) to provide the ability for the
government to decrypt the data. I don't know that legislation has
actually been introduced, though.
