The challenge with this approach is how you make intercepted calls
non-distinguishable from regular calls. The intercepted party may
watch signaling and notice service provider's IP addresses. Also,
the quality may degrade through use of RTP relay.

A possible option is to ingore this problem.

Other option would be to implement interception in edge routers.
Obviously, it is not an easy one.
