Due to security reasons, India has issued an order to ban all pre-paid mobile phones in Kashmir. Apparently, these pre-paid mobile phones were being used by militants for other means such as using them to trigger bombs and hide their identities. Launched in 2003, these pre-paid mobile phones are said to be the reason for some attacks since they are easier to get a hold of compared to post-paid mobile handsets which require a more scrutinized check before they are issued.

Other regions suffer the same ordeal since getting a pre-paid card and a mobile phone can be done easily. With this move however, countries such as the Philippines may do well to follow India’s lead to counter terrorists attacks which make use of technology for all the wrong reasons.

GoliveMobile has announced that it has opened new offices in the countries of the India and the Philippines, part of its strategy to expand in Asia. Though carrying only a handful of employees for both new business hubs (30 for Manila and 50 for Bangalore), this is a the first step in their expansion strategy, perhaps preparing for a broader area of scope as far as providing mobile content services.

These new offices will initially serve as dual regional hubs for operations based in Asia. This will likewise mean additional job opportunities for qualified individuals.
