This is already the norm in India.
No ID proof, no phone.
I think it's the norm everywhere. In the UK, you'll have to fill out a form before purchasing a mobile phone (I know I did). And SIM registration is know compulsory down here in Nigeria.
Nothing new, it's quite common around the world. Including here
Aint the norm in Ireland anyway.
In Spain became the norm after the 11-M train bombings.
While the goal may not be stated that way, you need an ID in the US as well. Ever try to get anything but a throwaway phone in the US without an ID and credit card?
Same in Italy you need to give your fiscal code (sort of like National Insurance Number) to buy a SIM card.
What do you think. It's work
Now to hacking those stupid policy
same in Russia. You cannot buy a sim card, modem, or phone without showing your official passport and writing down your personal data.
No proof of id required in the UK for pay as you go but some vendors will attempt to extract personal details from you for marketing purposes.
Wrong. You can buy a modem or a cell phone freely, like any other gimmick, no id required. You show your id when buying a sim card because providing telecommunication services requires a written agreement between the customer and the telecommunication company.
Guess so, but I couldn't buy a USB modem at Bee-line in Khabarovsk without Passport.
And communication with the outside world.
It's ok for free world. But it is not ok for totalitarian regimes
