Indian govt working on strategy to deal with fake mobile handsets
December 22nd, 2008
We already saw the fight Nokia is putting up to fight the chinese mobiles. In the last 1-2 year s these handsets have flooded the local markets and ruined the low-end cream that the industry was growing on since the last 5 years.
And here comes the fight from the Indian govt to tackle the unbranded phones without legal IMEI. It is believed that these phones are widely used by terrorists. Earlier the govt had directed the telecos to disconnect mobile handsets on their network without proper IMEI by 6th Jan 2009. However the deadline has now been expanded till 31 March 2009.
