To be quite clear: it is only things to do with money that are the
special case (accounting, billing)?
Michael Horn said "no unnecessary personal data" and I do not know
whether that is the same thing.
I would like to think that data kept for purposes such as maintaining
the performance and integrity of the network, or resolving issues with
peer networks, could also be considered "necessary". I believe that is
the present position in the UK.
