Isn't that just the EU-Directive they are puting in motion? We here in Austria have the same since 1st April...
And it's not like they are saying in the first minutes of the vid... they don't get access to your E-Mail (at least to the EU-Directive) they just need to save from which IP you send your E-Mail to which E-Mail account. Same goes for internet traffic... they will just have to save which site you have visited and when... they are not allowed to store any communication you made on the site, just that you communicated... (I really don't know how far the UK-Law goes, but that is what has to be done according to the EU-Directive)
EDIT: Base difference here is: Earlier Service Providers(SP) only needed to save that data when a judge ordered the SP to do so, now the SP has to do it on itself for 6-24 months (EU-Directive again^^)
