The news that gov't is discussing the feasibility of mobile phone identification policy becomes a hot topic on the Internet communities on Thursday.
Tang Zhenye, a member of Political Consultative Conference of Guangdong Province, first proposed the motion when his friends suffered loss of short message fraud and were fed up with harassment of garbage short messages. His motion said that the mobile phone identification system could handle the problem of short messages, especially the garbage short messages.
In response to his motion, the Guangdong Bureau of Communication Management said the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had drafted the regulations of real name registration system with Ministry of Public Security and State Council Information Office. The regulations are pending the approval of State Council.
According to a survey mentioned by CNR.cn, 80 percent of the mobile phone users support the motion. 60 percent of users think the system will be useful in stopping message frauds and garbage messages thought false ID cards may become another crime source as the system goes. But many people gave their doubts about the authority and correctness of the survey in the comments following the news.
Mobile phone users are also concerned about how to guarantee their privacy right of identification when they give their personal information to the telecommunication SPs(service providers). On March 15, 2008 Focus Media Wireless were exposed by the CCTV to send millions of garbage short messages everyday, neglecting the social responsiblity of a listed company. The shocking news resulted in the collapse of the company and public's nonconfidence in SPs.
81.9 percent of mobile phone users agreed that it's a better way to deal with garbage messages if we could specify and clarify the responsibility and obligation of SPs.
China's high roaming charge is widely complained of by users, which serves a reason for people not to support the identification system.
When mobile phone users travel to other places. the identification registration will increase the cost of travellers and bring inconvenience.
