CALEA for co-lo transit providers?

I'm sure someone knows this off the top of their heads, so I'll ask 
the non-lawyers here for some clue before I wade into the 
documentation...

I know that CALEA applies to all "service providers" for broadband 
access and VoIP application services here in the United States. 
However, does CALEA apply to co-location transit providers?(*)  In 
other words: facilities that have no end-users or end-user circuits 
in them, but only large arrays of application servers?   I'm asking 
about IP transit, and not about physical layer.  Equinix, as an 
example: with their Equinix Direct product (blended transit inside 
their facilities) are they subject to CALEA?

My gut instinct is "no" after doing some reading, but it's not 
entirely clear.  Opinions welcome, and referenced facts even more so.


(*) Of course, one always must comply with a court order, but that is 
not what I'm asking about - I'm talking about the "built-in" 
intercept functionality that many equipment vendors are now 
integrating into equipment, and pre-event access configuration that 
may be requested by LEAs.
