Egyptian Government Blocks Anonymous Mobile Phone Accounts
The Egyptian government has requested mobile phone companies to block the access of several hundred thousand customers who did not register their names and addresses when they obtained mobile phone service, according to an article published here. The order was made as a “public security measure” to suppress public frustration amid rising prices and low wages that have set off a series of strikes against the government. The strikes were planned and mobilized primarily through mobile phones and the Internet.
Egypt may not have a reputation as the freest country on earth - but in most western countries, it is simply impossible these days to obtain anonymous cellular service.
