Whats your view on this?
Thanks for keeping an eye on this. It's an important story with implications that reach out beyond Bangladesh.
Sada Kalo has a different view. His reasoning looks acceptable to me.
Vb:
He probably missed out on the BBC Bangla news (link in my last post):
Headline: Authorities in Bangladesh have taken measures to strengthen control on internet services provided.
Bangladesh Telecommunication regulatory commission (BTRC) has taken some measures to regulate the Internet usage after a meeting with the Internet Service Provider (ISP) Association of Bangladesh. BTRC has decided to create a database profile of the internet users of Bangladesh.
Its general secretary Russel T Mahmood tells BBC Bangla: “The most important thing is security. You know that people are threatening with emails, using email for various things. If these are not controlled from a central point you cannot trace them. The whole thing is to establish a control mechanism. We ISPs have corporate clients as well as individual clients. They have expected the details of these clients from us. How much bandwidth they uses, what are their IPs, what are their usage patterns these are basically the requirement from us. What we can fathom is that this is to monitor and prevent people from doing anything outside the legal boundary with bandwidth purchased from ISPs.”
Forget security, this will get used for corporate and commercial ends.Primarily to devise advertising campaigns and make products.
