[kictanet] Mobile phone threat

[Kwach]

Dorcas, 

 

This would appear like even the devils (criminals) are demanding for their
rights and time to do their (sic) activities. I believe we have not reached
and intending to go that direction, hence the mobile phone operators here
need to employ their resources in improving quality of services and lowering
costs instead of threatening their loyal customers with tracking SMS and so
forth. 

 

We should encourage mobile phones as business tools that should add value to
quality life and not to be a burden and threat to the society.

Extreme threats .....

The Taleban have threatened to blow up telephone masts across Afghanistan
unless mobile phone companies agree to switch off their signals at night. 

They say that US and other foreign troops are using the signals to track
down insurgents
