Spain is about to disconnect all pre-paid phone lines unless the owners register their personal information with their carriers. This is a result of an European Union directive part of a campaign called “Identify yourself!” The European Union requires owners to register their personal information including name, address and national ID number. The carriers will be required to register all the calls made and keep the information for a year. How would you respond to a move like this one? Sure your privacy is at risk but the campaign is intended to prevent terrorist attacks where cell phones are involved.
