Government ban on Nokia N Series, E Series smartphones and other high - end mobile phones

[kflyer]

Extracted from a post at my blog..

To all the Sri Lankans.. How many of you do know that you will never EVER get to touch a Nokia N Series, E Series, any Sony Ericsson or Samsung high end device and/ or any other tech savvy gadget again ? ? ?
THE SRI LANKAN GOVERNMENT ONLY RECENTLY BANNED IMPORTING OF ANY GPS ENABLED DEVICES TO SRI LANKA. Which includes the latest mobile devices to every next generation tech gadget as all of these come with GPS preinstalled. For those of you who are not that tech savvy, GPS refers to Global Positioning System ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System - GPS on Wikipedia) , which is operated by the government of United States. What the GPS system does is tracking your location via satellites and providing you with the latest real time navigational aid including providing real time traffic info (where available) and it is an increasingly popular and *rapidly growing* service in rich and poor, but *developing* countries due to the fact that the service is provided totally free of charge while still offering you the benefit of making things easier and for many people, the importance of GPS is that you'll never get lost in an unknown area. Because of these reasons, GPS now comes bundled with every new high end mobile phone (and also certain cars, watches etc. ) and examples include Nokia N95, Nokia N96, Nokia N81, Nokia N78, Nokia 6210 other Nokia N Series, E Series and Navigator devices, recent Sony Ericsson devices and recent Samsung devices AND the new law means the banning of all these devices in Sri Lanka. The worst part is that, the Goverment of Sri Lanka didn't issue any public notice on this (afaik and probably due to the fact that it could generate some voice of opposition) and more than 90% of Sri Lankan citizens STILL DO NOT KNOW OF THIS LAW. Now, think again. How unfair is this decision ? We agree that it is a tense situation in the country and we SUPPORT THE TROOPS FROM OUR WHOLE HEARTS, but does the government really think that the TERRORISTS IMPORT ALL THEIR ITEMS THROUGH CUSTOMS and being very loyal to the Sri Lankan law ? No. Never. Then, this law will only have an effect on the poor consumer. This means that Sri Lanka is going backwards in technology and I'm pretty sure that as most of the new tech gadgets and mobiles (you all teens !) come with GPS, you'll never get to play with them again. It is very disappointing how the goverment acts and probably this kind of decision will only add up more people to the already strong opposition to the way the government acts. If any government official reads this, I would like to respectfully suggest you to please think one more time, how many of you do really already use mobiles equipped with GPS ... PLEASE think twice on this law.Plus, whatever the government may attempt to do, they will not be able to block GPS signals to Sri Lanka as these satellites are situated thousands of kilometers away in the orbit and the government of Sri Lanka has no control of these and cannot control either.
Hence these laws aren't going to do any bother to the Tamil Tiger terrorists and they'll still tend to use GPS without any problem. And, GPS is needed for certain business in Sri Lanka (Dialog TV etc. ) and it is a question how will they react on this issue.. I believe that the government should have a broader look on this issue and not stick to a simple solution like this.
Nokia.. I know that you'll not make GPS-free versions of your devices just for Sri Lanka
Customs & BOI.. How much dollars will you lose annually
Mobitel.. Oh your newly expanded 3G coverage - now you'll have to get some 3G powered Nokia 1100s etc.
My poor self.. You were a mobile blogger - now what to blog about ?
My dear motherland - You are now one step closer to being isolated from the Global Village.. !
Good bye high-end tech gadgets - we'll *probably* never see you again ..

Sri Lanka was the first country in South Asia to launch a 3G network, but decisions like these will only make our country lag behind on technology

It is pretty clear that this will have no effect on the terrorists and the sole effect would be only on the consumer..
So, come on in and let's join the forces to make a voice of opposition and suggestion..


*GoSL - Please think broadly and try to ease the ban to allow import of mobile phones etc. , so Sri Lanka may not lag behind the latest technology

*Nokia - GPS functionality in the device can be blocked by the firmware, so please think on making a different version of at least a few of your high - end devices for Sri Lanka ( and Egypt )

We are not any kind of a terrorist or political party.
We are just some Sri Lankans who wish to see Sri Lanka develop and become a developed nation one day, and we believe that this kind of decisions only limit that development.

Someone might see our aim as impossible, BUT, we believe that by aiming for the impossible you achieve the best possible.

Feel free to join us, invite your friends and let's do our best to make this voice strong !

Please join the Facebook group against Sri Lankan government effectively banning all high - end mobile phones in the name of a GPS ban( the bigger harm can be done by GPS devices and Car Nav, then why ban only phones ? ) in Sri Lanka and help make a voice of opposition against a backward trend in a developing world

Dial #132# on ur mobile (any network) to check your SIM card registration status.Every user is required to re-register.Visit network's centre and face for photographs & provide details for ID.

GoSL must be thinking that Tigers use mobiles for GPS and that they import every item legally through the customs. What a joke ? GoSL can NOT ban GPS, the satellites are thousands of kilometers away in orbit and the Pentagon isn't going to call them back per the request of a poor country that seems to be going to disaster day by day.

[Tharindu Chat]

oh no

i plan 2 buy a N96

UPDATE: I was informed by a reliable source that government's next step is to ban mobiles with Radio. I think the source meant of Push-To-Talk functionality, which is available on EVERY Nokia phone with GPRS (= all GPRS enabled phones getting banned).

well wat ur saying is 100% true. these so called PATRIOTS in this country want da country not to g forward but to go backwards. as i said b 4 only solution is to pray and ask god to save sri lanka!!!

[kflyer]

People, I'm not a terrorist. But I'm a mobile blogger. So I know what's going on. Please refer to the second post that I have posted on the first page of the thread (admin, could you please join the two posts ? ). Please refer to the links. They reveal the truth.
THE NEWS ON THIS LAW IS 100% TRUE. My friend Ravindra, the only other mobile blogger from Sri Lanka got his Nokia N78 resent by the customs last week. That is how we got confirmed of this law.
1. Sorry. You cannot buy an N96 here and you cannot order one from abroad too (my friend's package was sent on a courier)
2. Afaik, you do not have to hand over your N95 to anyone. The government says that they've blocked GPS to Sri Lanka. Which is impossible to the best of my knowledge as the satellites are situated thousands of kilometers above in the orbit.

It's true that my post count is much low, but it doesn't mean I registered on EK any recently. :-)

I POSTED THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE REFERENCES ON THIS TOPIC AND BECAUSE I WANTED TO INFORM ALL OF YOU ON THERE. What nonsense people ? If you consider one of your own people as a terrorist just for informing you about a new law by the government, what's your patriotic view ? Ape minissunge heti ohoma thama, oka athdakinnama one therumganna. Then wait for it guys.. It was just a disappointment trying to inform you people on what's going on.. Come out of the caves and look around, THE LAW IS TRUE.

[Tharindu Chat]

Tharindu Chat, let me respectfully suggest you to please explain me. what benefit does the national security or troops get by banning mobiles with GPS ? ? ?

they hav security measuremenths , we cant disagree with that

In america they said 2 google to remove all the satelite pics abt their army camps
,No one disagreed with that.No questions.

[mizt]

im not going to give my vote to dis fkers

[yashan]

im nt mislead anyone

Hw can u say tht this law z confirmed????????????

all da sources r blogs,No Official News abt that.

Wat r da SRI LANKAN NEWS WEB SITES??????? tel me..

these days LTTE z making rumours against government and trying to stop da army operations in Mulathiv.So first we hav 2 consider abt these type of news without any prove

Machan high end phone ban karala ltte eka nawathwanna baha. Ehenan egollonta internet, phones,computers,pda.. Me hama ekakm ban karanna oune raten. Meka hariyata "hisaradayata kotta maru karanawa" wage wadak. How ever we will have to wait for da official news

[Tharindu Chat]

ya bro ur correct but still we suffer for years coz of the war well every prob has a solution if gps is used by them we can track them down...all we have to do is Hope For Peace in Srilanka.........

yes machan our army forces r doing enormus duty in Wanni

So we cant let that down

we hav 2 give ful support 2 them

F they want 2 ban these due 2 security measurements in our country we hav 2 agree that

[kflyer]

LTTE already have GPS




GPS is a worldwide system and operated by the US government. The 24 satellites are situated thousands of kilometers above in the orbit. THE PENTAGON ISN'T WILLING TO SHOOT DOWN THEIR SATELLITES upon the request of one psycho government.

I don't think that the LTTE will ever import their GPS equipment through the customs. So despite this law by the government, LTTE will continue to use GPS with no problems. Only the poor mobile consumer would suffer. That's why I call this law STUPID.

[sri_lion]

Because I care about our country's technology as it's my motherland and because I'm a mobile lover. If you really think that I posted the links to my blog for improving my blog's PageRank, I'll remove them right away.

I dont know... you tell me! :lol:

I POSTED THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE REFERENCES ON THIS TOPIC AND BECAUSE I WANTED TO INFORM ALL OF YOU ON THERE. What nonsense people ? If you consider one of your own people as a terrorist just for informing you about a new law by the government, what's your patriotic view ? Ape minissunge heti ohoma thama, oka athdakinnama one therumganna. Then wait for it guys.. It was just a disappointment trying to inform you people on what's going on.. Come out of the caves and look around, THE LAW IS TRUE.

You just said yourself... anyone can express anything its their right isn't it?

So lead by example, no need to get angry! I asked you a question from what I've observed! Your blog contains ads and you must be making money through them.. how the hell I know! :lol: Suddenly you realize "ena pota honda na" then come here put up one big thread!!! Wolla.. serves all purposes!!! :lol: :lol:

I dunno my question seems logical to me..

Anyway since you mentioned it.. Well I dunno the logic behind govt. banning GPS.. But, what do you think about Sri Lanka's technology infrastructure? Especially the ones related to GPS and stuff!! What's your thoughts on that? Can a normal person use GPS straight out of the BOX? what uses can a normal person get?

well not like I have a GPS enabled phone/device either.
But I worry for Sri Lanka as a whole!
GPS is another step towards development in our country and if that is banned then it will harm the development of our country.

Dialog GSM has invested millions on its new GPS project. Now if GPS cannot be used anymore, then it would have all gone down the drain = wastage of money.

The GPS project itself can create so many job opportunities provoking a multiplier effect.

So the money supply as well as spending in the country goes down. this leads to lower economic growth as Aggregate demand falls.

Investment in technology is key to growth. any jack knows that.

Some may argue that the effect of banning GPS is insignificant. But GPS is only 1 of many to come.

UPDATE: I was informed by a reliable source that government's next step is to ban mobiles with Radio. I think the source meant of Push-To-Talk functionality, which is available on EVERY Nokia phone with GPRS (= all GPRS enabled phones getting banned).

Dial #132# on ur mobile (any network) to check your SIM card registration status.Every user is required to re-register.Visit network's centre and face for photographs & provide details for ID.

GoSL must be thinking that Tigers use mobiles for GPS and that they import every item legally through the customs. What a joke ? GoSL can NOT ban GPS, the satellites are thousands of kilometers away in orbit and the Pentagon isn't going to call them back per the request of a poor country that seems to be going to disaster day by day.

What if ltte piggies write a simmple mobile app to use GPS enabled low cost phone (military grade GPS devices are expensive than a typical N series phone) and automatically trigger the attached bomb to blast when the public vehicle where they left the parcel at the right target?

I don't like to see N series banned. But honestly, having no GPS device in my denim pocket will not affect my day to day life much.

this was predicted long time b4 man!! long time back.

i wud lyk to c da so called PATRIOTS comment on this thing coz by banning these divices sri lanka is not going ahead. we are ging backwards. WTF?? if we dont have access to technology then how da hell do u so called PATRIOTS think we can develop in this information age??

u want sri lanka to use birds to send messages??

well ill tell u guys sumthing?? i wont be surprised if the following are banned within da next few yrs this government lasts.

1. telegrams( they will say ltte sending telegrams wit secrect codes as messages)
2. emails (they will say ltte is sending emails)
3. satalite (they will say ltte is using this to communicate)
4. airlines ( they will say ltte supporters are traveling abroad to collect money)
5. telephone ( they will say ltte is taking calls)
6. internet ( they will say ltte is using it)
7. computers (they will say ltte is using it too)
8. TV (they will say ppl watch tamil channels)
9. Radio (they will say ppl listen tamil radio)
10. vehicles (they will say ltte is sending vehicle bombs)
11. electrical appliences(will say ltte is using to make bombs)
13. bags (ltte is carrying bombs)
14. newspapers except da government one (they will say ltte news is comming)

WTF??? are we living in a democratic country r sum country rules by a set of monkeys?? jst coz ltte using stuff it doesnt mean da ppl cant use it??

da biggest terrorist attack in america was da 9/11 attack. did america ban airlines and mobile phones and restict internet and stuff?? no ryt? there is nothing lyk dat. then WTF does da SL government want to ban them. well according to wat i think da gvernment is scared dat all their wrong stuff will go out. i agree dat no person in da world is pure and crrect. we all do mistakes nd stuff.

if at all there is a solution to all this mess then there is only one way to obtain it. we all have to say GOD SAVE SRI LANKA!!!!

I posted a news report on this on 06-28-2008 first.
Govt. bans GPS facility for mobile phones (http://elakiri.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88692)

It was on 'Ravaya' newspaper. and it was reproduced on lankadissent.com. I read the original news on Ravaya too.

Saturday, 28 June 2008 07:43

The government has extended its tentacles of social repression, purportedly for national security, to mobile phones, by prohibiting the Global Positioning System (GPS) facility, 'Ravaya' reports.
According to this ban, the import and sale of GPS-enabled mobile phones will not be allowed, and the facility will be deactivated in phones already having it.

According to an executive officer of a mobile service provider, they have deactivated the GPS following a directive by the Defence Ministry.

Deputy Director of the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission H. Ranatunga said that they were awaiting a further clarification in this regard from the Defence Ministry.

When contacted by 'Ravaya,' Defence Spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella has said that he was unaware of such a ban, and asked its reporter to call again in one hour's time.

However, the newspaper had not received any response to any of its several calls to Mr. Rambukwella after one hour.

The GPS facility determines the precise location of a vehicle, person, or other asset to which it is attached and to record the position of the asset at regular intervals.


But still people/main mobile phone sellers sell all the GPS enabled N series phones/iPhones here. Today I even saw an ad for a N96 phone - Rs103,000/= on HitAd supplement in Sunday Times.

Lapses in summit security arrangements embarrass host


India’s National Security Advisor M. K. Narayanan was in for a rude shock yesterday. He was chauffeur driven from his hotel, the Taj Samudra, at Galle Face, to the BMICH for the opening sessions of the SAARC summit. There were security escorts to accompany the senior official, who is widely regarded, by virtue of his official position, as a high-profile target. He arrived at the main entrance to the conference hall, and was received and ushered to his seat.

When the sessions were over, and after the South Asian leaders had already left for their hotels, Mr. Narayanan was still standing at the entrance of the BMICH, waiting for his car and the security escort vehicles to arrive. But no car or vehicles turned up. He then approached a taxi with the Taj Samudra name and logo on it which had transported someone else to the conference venue, and persuaded the driver to take him back to the hotel.

Although the roads were closed for other traffic, the vehicle, with the Taj Samudra logo on its doors, managed to make it back to the hotel. However, India’s National Security Adviser was forced to travel without any security. Needless to say, the serious lapse has displeased both the Indian officials and those in the Indian High Commission in Colombo.

Security at the BMICH, the conference venue, and all motorcades travelling to and from the BMICH, come under the scrutiny of the Presidential Security Division (PSD). Many weeks ahead of the conference, the PSD were tasked with planning and co-ordinating the duties assigned to them. “Evidently someone did not do his job properly,” an exasperated Foreign Ministry official who learnt of the incident told The Sunday Times.

Deputy Inspector General S. M. Wickremasinghe who is in charge of the PSD, met Mr. Narayanan later yesterday to extend an apology on behalf of his organisation.

A similar lapse occurred when Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh arrived at the Presidential Secretariat for talks with President Mahinda Rajapaksa. When the talks ended, and the Indian Premier was about to board his official limousine to return to his hotel, the Personal Security Officer assigned to him was missing. Noticing this, a member of the Indian premier’s Special Protection Group (SPG), hurriedly jumped into the front seat.

It was later discovered that the PSO, a Senior Superintendent of Police attached to the Special Task Force (STF), had arrived at the spot only after Dr. Singh’s car had left. Although he had escorted the Indian Premier from his hotel, the Sri Lankan PSO had reportedly been missing. President Rajapaksa yesterday ordered a full inquiry into the incident.

Yet another summit gaffe was reported. The wife of Speaker W. J. M. Loku Bandara had to give up her seat in the first row at yesterday’s inaugural of the summit. This was to make way for Opposition UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe. He had earlier been assigned a seat in row five. Seated next to him was a Moulavi or Muslim cleric.

This was whilst former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga, who has the record for the longest-serving SAARC chairperson, was given a seat in row three. Political sources pointed out that, according to the Precedence Table, a former President comes next to the serving President, and even before the Prime Minister. After some discussion, the former President was given a seat in the front row, but that was the last seat in the left extreme of the row.

A board with the words HON. CABINET MINISTERS was hung on the front-row chairs, but with so many Cabinet Ministers present, they were seen sitting all over the place. The seating arrangements were handled by the Foreign Ministry.

Foreign Minister's daughter sits in at SAARC Ministers :lol: :lol: :lol: meeting


Sri Lanka created a diplomatic stir last week when Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama's daughter Dilshani sat in on the SAARC Council of Ministers meeting in violation of diplomatic protocol.

The Council of Ministers meeting was held at the VIP room in the BMICH Thursday, July 31.

The Sunday Leader learns the Minister's daughter had walked into the meeting and sat behind the Sri Lankan delegation leading to muffled protests from diplomats of member nations.

Informed sources said prior to the commencement of the Council of Ministers meeting in the VIP room, there were several heads of mission present and were requested to leave the room by the protocol division of the Foreign Ministry.

However, the sources said the Minister's daughter had continued to sit in on the confidential meeting without being asked to leave.

It is learned some diplomats who were asked to leave the room in keeping with protocol had protested over the incident.

The Sunday Leader also learns the Minister's son Dakshitha had also participated at some of the other official meetings but was not present at the Council of Minister's meeting.

Protocol disaster at SAARC ceremony


By Dilrukshi Handunnetti

There is no disputing the fact that the BMICH appeared impressive in all its splendour, the beautifully created stage and the head table, the expensive flowers and the ambience adding to the wholesome picture to the unsuspecting eye. But all of the above did not manage to conceal the truth that the SAARC summit inauguration ceremony failed to reach the mark in event management.

The far from perfect event to start with, the SAARC seating arrangement was one huge mess and an abysmal failure in protocol. Former President Chandrika Kumaratunga was not ushered to an allotted seat and was first relegated to the third row when someone had the good sense to gently move her to a front row seat.

Causing a regional embarrassment, the first ladies were ushered into the main hall, minutes before the sessions commenced, but were made to stand and wait until seats were sorted. There was Mrs. Manmohan Singh showing an empty chair in the second row and they had to queue up and wait until a chair was indicated.

Much earlier, an unescorted Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe occupied a fifth row seat until an embarrassed Chief Government Whip and Minister Dinesh Gunawardene and Minister Mano Wijeratne personally ushered Wickremesinghe to the front row.

Early bird ministers Dr. Sarath Amunugama and Gamini Lokuge were seen looking for their seats in an uncertain manner and finally they had to decide on their own seats.

Some flags were messed up with the reporters from the respective countries opposing the colours used on their national flags, alleging that the green shade on the Bangladeshi flag and the orange colour on the Indian flag being inaccurate!

Besides, the car park too had been a mess with all cars excluding the heads of state and diplomats being parked together in a jumble.

As for the long suffering journalists who were transported as early as 6.45 a.m. for a 10 a.m. event under tight security were inconvenienced when officials requested that the front row be cleared for foreign camera crews, two hours after they were settled in their seats.

Then there were hundreds of local journalists who could not do their coverage properly due to the lack of simultaneous interpretation of the speeches made, a far cry from SAARC summit experiences anywhere else.

Adding insult to injury, journalists were surprised to find former parliamentarian Somakumari Tennakoon happily settled in the media gallery.

The media center too turned out to be a nightmare with internet getting disconnected every half hour making scribes lose their typed copies and lens men unable to mail their photographs.

Also, there were attempts by the Foreign Ministry to rewrite history in flawed English. Brief documentaries on member countries were shown on wide screen as each head of state arrived and interestingly, the documentary on Sri Lanka claimed that Sri Lanka had a population of two billion!

The documentary on Afghanistan was no better. In raw English, the documentary noted “America and its allies came looking for Osama Bin Laden.”

To cap it all, while the invitation cards said the ceremony would start at 10 a.m., President Mahinda Rajapakse made his entry shortly after 11 a.m.

City hoteliers’ loss tops Rs. 100 million


By Ashwin Hemmathagama

City hoteliers have incurred an estimated loss over Rs. 100 million during the last 10 days, due to the unexpected arrangements made by the Sri Lankan Government in hosting the 15th SAARC summit in Colombo.
Sri Lanka, now well-known for sudden closure of roads citing national security, and for adopting stringent traffic control to make room for VIP movements, has also managed a serious blow to its struggling tourism industry as well. LAKBIMAnEWS talking to key tourist hoteliers located in the heart of Colombo learns that weddings, conferences, meetings and private parties which were booked well in advance for the period from July 26 to August 4 were cancelled, creating chaos and causing considerable financial loss.
According to reliable sources, Ceylon Continental Hotel which is located in a high security zone just next to the Central Bank and the President’s House, has been badly affected. “Our occupancy has gone down very seriously since July 26th. All functions including weddings were cancelled and we had to make full refunds.
The foreign guests who were to leave to the airport faced severe problems due to haphazard road closure time-tables... We believe our loss would exceed Rs. 30 million by tomorrow,” the source stated. faced a loss of 20 million,” confirmed a source in Galadari Hotels (Lanka) PLC.

Heartbreak over heartless security

By Isuri Kaviratne

A woman died after suffering a heart attack last Sunday due to inaccessibility to emergency treatment, as a result of the SAARC rehearsal traffic arrangements, the victim’s family claims.

Sixty-four year-old Mary Pearl Jayatillaka, from Alwiswatta Wattala had suffered heart problems around 3.30 p.m. and family members including her daughter Nirmala Silva had tried to rush her to the closest hospital, Ragama Hospital when they got caught to the closure of the Negombo-Katunayake Road. They had been compelled to stop at three different road blocks in Wattala and all attempts at pleading with the police to allow them to cross the Negombo road had failed

“My mother never cried. This was the only day we saw her cry,” Niramala said, going on to explain the tragedy that unfolded right before her eyes. She said they had attempted to cross the road at three points, Bunt Road, Hendala Road junction and Alwis town junction, but could not do so because of security barriers.

“We didn’t want to go along the Negombo Road. We just wanted to cross to the other side to so that we could get to the hospital through various short cuts,” Nirmala said, adding that neither pleading nor arguing with the Police worked to just cross about 15-20 meters of the road to get to the other side.
“It would have taken a maximum of two minutes to cross the road in the vehicle and thereafter there are several shortcut routes to reach Ragama hospital,” he said.

“My mother was pleading with us to take her to a doctor but we couldn’t do that,” a tearful Nirmala said. She said they didn’t have the option of even channeling a doctor in the area as the doctors came to channeling centres only after 5 p.m. She said, eventually after going through the most desperate 45 minutes of their lives, they found a doctor. However at the Kelawarapitiya Junction. As soon as she was taken there, Nirmala’s mother had been given treatment but it had been too late. “My mother fell at my feet unconscious, after suffering for nearly an hour,” Nirmala said. On the doctor’s instructions, she was rushed to Ragama hospital, by which time the roads had been opened, but it was too late.

“I have a sister who is a nurse. We know most of the doctors in Ragama hospital. But still we couldn’t take my mother there on time. The doctors there said if we had brought her even 10 minutes earlier there would have been a good chance of saving her,” Nirmala said. She charged that the policemen at the checkpoints didn’t even bother to check how serious her mother’s condition was before disallowing them to cross the road. She said that the government while providing security to foreign delegates had not taken any measures to serve the public in emergencies. “No child would want their mother to die like the way she did,” Nirmala said. “She was a kind and healthy woman and she died in vain because she was an ordinary citizen in this country and not a VIP or the mother of a VIP,” she said. Worst still she said they were so helpless and couldn’t do anything that Sunday. She added that in an attempt to protect someone else’s life, her mother’s life was ultimately sacrificed.

SAARC comes alive amid dead city

* Uncertainty over traffic arrangement keeps people away from work
* Lottery sellers, three wheeler drivers hit by drop in sales and hires

By Madhushala Senaratne

The 15th SAARC summit being held in Colombo under the theme, ‘SAARC partnership for people’ appears to be driving the public further away from it, with security concerns and attempts to build a clean city image causing inconvenience to the public.

Most people opted to stay away from the city during the past few days with traffic into the city dropping from last Monday, while those who came into the city experienced long traffic blocks and sudden diversions.

Thanks. Matath baya anagathae gena thama. My blog might get banned or I might get arrested. It seems that someone from this thread reported Police or forces last night.

This wouldn't happen if there was a media freedom in our country. They doesn't like the fact that I made news on this ban public. They want to enforce the laws, but then again to keep those laws secret.

Someone mentioned of exploding a bomb with a GPS enabled phone. I'd like to ask you how is that possible ? It seems that this person doesn't know about GPS.
GPS ON A PHONE CANNOT DO A SINGLE HARM TO THE SECURITY.
Only that it can help increase security as you are never lost when having a phone with GPS. That's why they've included it to phones.
That's right. Owa karanne Mahindage pandi upadeshakayone. Eyi serayak Ghota kiyala thibune janadhipathige sahodaraya vidihata oota special powers tiyenna one, Mahinda uge malli hinda uoo Mahindata rata palanaya karanna one heti kiyala denawa, oota one hetiyatayi rata palanaya wenna one, podi minissu hinda ratata thiyena lokuma sampath wena deshapalakayange arakshawa nethikarala be kiyala.

That give me a clear image of your knowledge about DIGITAL MAPPING and programming.

GPS tracking is all about digital mapping and drawing. One can identfy where he is now in the world. ('you are never lost when having a phone with GPS' :lol: you know it)
A program aka a software aka an instruction set written to use the resources of the phone also can identify 'aha! now I'm at the target'.
Then what? Ok. You are not the programmer. Instead, a terrorist is at that end. So he use another resource, maybe the flasher of the N series camera phone, or the vibrator; motor of the phone is triggered 'on' position. But no flasher is there. Coz that tiger won't forget to connect another circuit.

Is it clear? OK learn some java. Or better learn VS.NET. Download the SDK from Nokia site. And also, read this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS

Why not ban VOIP, why not ban the whole Internet! Make this the Rural Village! No need to join the Global village! (We are citizens of Sri Lanka, we are not representing any political party!)

[kflyer]

Plus, if someone thinks that terrorists need GPS to find the latitude longitude etc. of airports airbases etc. of Sri Lanka. THEY CANNOT and THEY DON'T NEED GPS FOR THAT.
1. You cannot use GPS in a phone to find details of a remote place.
2. If you think they use GPS in a phone to confirm their location (ie- they are at Katunayake Apt and want to confirm that)
a. One must be a fool to use GPS on a phone to track their location. Why ? GPS in phones are low in quality, very inaccurate and takes ages to find out where you are.
b. They are not that stupid. They always know where they are where they want to go. Kotiyek kawadawath atharaman una kiyalawath, GPS ekak athe thiyagena iddi maattu wuna kiyalawath api ahala nene?

3. The correct latitude and longitude of any airport in the world is publicly available on the internet. You cannot ban these as general aviation pilots need these to find the airport.

The most important fact is that GoSL can never ban GPS signals to Sri Lanka and terrorists would never import their items through customs either.
This is why I tell that this law is pointless and only causes trouble to the poor consumer.

Some people here needs to learn more about technology prior to understanding how stupid and pointless this law is.

The only thing that GPS in a phone can do is finding your location, with some inaccuracy and there's no harm whatsoever it can do to the national security.

Plus, according to what I've paid, if you pay a huge tax (around 40,000), they are ready to release (from customs) your GPS enabled phone. The same thing with banning websites. You gotta pay, if you want to use. GPS, Internet or even to breathe, probably in the future.

Plus, the re-registration of SIM cards doesn't help. Due to the vast number of subscribers, they are going to allow phone dealers (reload points) to do the registration and we can imagine how easy that would be to make a fake ID. There's no solution. If they are to limit registration only to the head offices, there'd be days long queues.

The only thing that I can understand is that we are heading towards a Hitler - like control.

DjHiran: All N Series and E Series phones run on Symbian OS and all the ones with GPS run on Symbian OS 9.2 or higher. Which is considered the mobile OS with the highest security and you can NOT set it to do a motor, vibrate thing like on an analog gadol bage. To write an app for Symbian 9.2 or higher, you need a special devcert and a key and an extreme knowledge in Symbian C++ . To get a devcert you need to register with Symbian and pay a huge amount of money. ROM Patching or hacking doesn't help you to set the phone to trigger on something. This proves me your knowledge on phones with GPS, which is our main topic.

[djHiran]

Dude, if someone read my posts in this thread (from the begining) he will find that I also don't want to see GPS banned stupidly if that is not what SLA needs. And Im not into muddy politics, I just tried to find a factor to justify that assuming that this is an SLA request. If you say 'no! thats what Mahinda wants' and actually thats it, that go far off my panorama. I hate loosing friends for stupid muddy politics.
