I was thrilled when I first heard about mobile phone lines with no contracts and no information known by the provider about the customer (save the calls themselves). Iin fact I was astonished that they existed at all in Egypt, being the police country that it is!

As a still-mobile-free person who values his privacy and loathes submittal-contracts that would have been the last thing that could make me consider a phone. But now, I’m totally free of pressure :D
Too bad for activists, though.

There was something in the news about this a few weeks ago. They said they would shut down all unregistered lines, but I thought this was not going to happen until July. I know it is very easy to get an unregistered line. When I bought mine, I didn’t have photocopies that the guy in the shop needed and he gave me the line anyway and told me to bring them later.

If this is true, they are not the only ones doing what the government wants. AT &T here in the US allowed the gov. to listen to people’s phone calls. Now I found out that Comcast, my internet sever, is blocking many web sites, just because they feel like it. Many web sites are unaccessible through Comcast. Selling out to big brother.
