I have two other quick questions and only a few moments.

The ECPA would make violation of the provisions subject to administrative monetary penalties of up to $1 million in the case of an individual and $10 million in the case of non-individuals. Now, as you know, these high penalties can be exacted without the right to a trial, and what you're suggesting there is merely a right to representation. Are you saying that what you're suggesting is a balance to that approach?
