Phone registration<\/p>\n
Concerning the article headlined Phone providers clueless over
\nprepaid card registration, it is explained that \"The issuance of
\na ministerial regulation requiring prepaid card cell phone
\nsubscribers to register with cellular providers is causing
\nconfusion among the companies.\"<\/p>\n
And, \"Three major cellular providers -- PT Telkomsel, PT
\nIndosat and PT Excelcomindo Pratama -- acknowledged that they
\nwere still assessing which measures would be feasible to
\nimplement and best suit the interests of their customers and
\ncard vendors.\"<\/p>\n
Why confusion? The best interests of all citizens, customers
\nor not, card vendors or not, is registration, so that terrorists
\nwill know that using a cellular system for explosive detonations
\ncan be traced back to them.<\/p>\n
If these super tech big three are still confused, let them
\nseek guidance from the Thais, who have threatened to block
\nservice to non-registered phones.<\/p>\n
And guess what -- an article I saw on BBC News also reported
\nthat there were long lines of people waiting to register their
\nphones. Freedom to choose -- register your phone or have it
\nblocked.<\/p>\n
You have to talk to people in language they understand and put
\nsecurity ahead of almighty profit.<\/p>\n
