Zimbabwe army says cellphones danger to security
Zimbabwe’s military has said the country’s mobile phone operators are threatening national security by using independent connections to the outside world, official media reported on Tuesday.
“The mobile service providers have their own international gateway system, and from a security point of view, this is dangerous to the state because we need to monitor traffic coming in and outside, but at the moment we can not,” the Zimbabwe Defense Forces director for communications, Colonel Livingstone Chineka, was quoted by the Herald newspaper as saying. Chineka said the three mobile phone firms should route international calls through the state-owned fixed line operator TelOne, and not use their own gateways, in order to make it easier to monitor international traffic.
