The Pakistani lethal mobile phone virus is no longer the funniest cell phone related story coming out of the east – I proudly present the following story straight from Kabul:
Taleban have recently begun to target cell phone towers, as they accuse them to support NATO/Afghan army troups. In order to prevent further attacks, all operators have now caved in to the demands, leaving Afghans blacked out. The government is attempting to “persuade operators to restore coverage”…but, as of now, Afghans are still offline…
For me, this is especially funny – in Austria, the police permanently bickers about how criminals use the cell phone networks to organize themselves. That’s how the priorities change…..
