If it was due to security, which I doubt, all they have to do is get the information from the wireless providers whether it be internet, phone service, or other. Every single wireless device has to be registered before use with the supplier... including such things as your router. This sounds like an invasion of privacy more than anything else. "Da Man" wants to know you better!

I have to agree somewhat...

Orwell must be laughing very hard, wherever he is...

Many faces of the Big Brother...one of the others being Patriot Act...and cameras everywhere in London, soon to be followed by New York if Bloomberg gets his way...

Privacy...what was that?

Puppy, I'm amazed that you would find this surprising, given your location...I don't know how old you are, but you sound like a very smart guy and I'm certain that memories of 1968 are still very much alive in your country...

Desert island, anyone????
