s.94 Telecommunications Act 1984

Teresa May announced today that secret orders have been issued to ISPs 
to  intercept bulk communications data of people in the UK.


Now that the cat is out of the bag, would anyone with experience if this 
like to comment on the extent of this previous practice - eg, how does 
it compare in extent with the plans to require retention of, and and 
require production of, all "internet connection records" (whatever they 
might be).
