本规范定义了使用IPCablecom功能（简称“PC/TSP”）向公众提供电信服务的电信运营商与执法机构（LEA）之间的接口，以协助LEA进行合法授权的电子监控。使用IPCablecom功能的公司在正常情况下不会是“电信运营商”相反，他们将提供信息服务。

This specification defines the interface between a telecommunications carrier that provides telecommunications services to the public for hire using IPCablecom capabilities (a "PC/TSP") and a Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) to assist the LEA in conducting lawfully authorized electronic surveillance. Companies using IPCablecom capabilities will not in the normal case be "telecommunications carriers."Instead they will be providers of information services.
