German ISP Forced To Delete IP Logs 202

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Tuesday November 07, 2006 @01:38AM from the next-the-request-will-be-used-as-evidence dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A German federal court decided today that T-Online, one of the largest ISPs in Germany, was obligated to delete all IP logs of a customer upon request to guarantee their privacy. From the article: 'The decision (German) does not mean that T-Online is now obliged to delete all their IP-logs, the customers first need to complain. But, if they ask T-Online to delete their IP-logs, the ISP has no other choice than to comply. A lawyer from Frankfurt already sketched a sample letter (German) to make this process easier.'"

They are probably going to measure the speed of the cell phones, not their density. You wouldn't care how many cars are on the road, as long as they are moving fast enough.
