> Sri Lanka Bans Lending Mobile Phones to Friends
Bookmark topic
Sri Lanka's government is planning to introduce new legislation which would require mobile phone users to carry a certificate of ownership at all times when carrying their phone around. The new law, which is claimed to be aimed at cutting down on terrorist activity would also forbid lending the phone to other people.
The proposals come from the Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (TRC), which is also requiring proof of identity to be provided when a phone is purchased in future.
The regulator said that it has taken this step “to avert irregularities and illegal activities while minimizing threats to national security created by the irresponsible use of telephones,”

They are planning on something I wouldnt encourage. Its just an increase of useless documents.
I think the systems used to show ownership of a phone are already enough. its just that people look down upon them and that is why most have their mobiles stolen and never regained
