Right of the bat, I noticed
s.3(1) does give the power of a corporatation to monitor their own network
services.
Actually read the document
The Telecommunications (Lawful Business Practice) (Interception of
Communications) Regulations 2000
at
http://www.dti.gov.uk/cii/annexa.htm
And they would only need the excuse under
s.3(1) subsection (b), that it's being monitored to insure that their employees
are working and not using the corporate network for say playing Doom, or
running Napster, or talking to their mistresses over IRC to arrange sex dates.
