<br>Excerpts from this UK news: <br><br><p>Details of the times, dates, duration and locations of mobile phone
calls, numbers called, website visited and addresses e-mailed are
already stored by telecoms companies for 12 months under a voluntary
agreement.
</p><p>The data can be accessed by the police and security services on
request - but the government plans to take control of the process in
order to comply with an EU directive and make it easier for
investigators to do their job.
</p><p>Information will be kept for two years by law and may be held centrally on a searchable database.
