With the advent of telecommunication market, the rising incidences of cybercrime and terrorist activities are major factors leading to the growth of lawful interception activities. Communication technologies such as emails, audio & video calls, text messages, digital images, facsimile, social media chats and MMS are some of the activities intercepted by the government authorities.

With the help of technological advancements lawful interception would be an important part of the telecommunication sector in the future. As per the laws in many countries, government authorities have made lawful interception mandatory for the network providers. 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions/ American Standardization Institution (ANSI/ ATIS), Communication Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), CableLabs/ PacketCable and SORM are institutions that set standard rules and regulations for lawful interception across many counties.

As per the report, File transfer, text messages and data downloads are the areas that would experience the most interception activities. The interception over telephonic conversations would reduce over time as VoIP call takes over market and increases use of free apps such as Skype and others.
