<div>Dear listers, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are aware about the misleading reports in the media. The Authority will address the media shortly to clarify and explain how the system works. There is no infringement of privacy. As a matter of fact, no information leaves the MNOs. Instead the system
queries the databases (whitelist, type approved devices etc) to determine the genuineness of a device before service is given. What part of that is infringement of privacy?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We will share the statement with you to help all of you understand. No one needs to be instilled with fear that is generated by parties with vested interests. we want to eliminate illegal telecoms traffic through SIM boxing, counterfeit devices, substandard
devices etc, for your good as the public. Not the other way as portrayed in the media. </div>

<p dir="ltr">But on what legal basis is the phone tapping being done? <br>
The closest connection I can see to the issue of counterfeit devices is the Type Approval Regulations, 2010.<br>
If this is the basis, how can subsidiary legislation be used to limit a right like privacy?
<br>
Could CA clarify on what basis this is happening??? </p>
