Last week, the indian government passed a mandate that requires all w pan service providers operating in the country to keep a record of their users for five years. They will be asked to store user names, ip addresses, usage patterns, as well as other kinds of identifiable information. This is aimed at preventing sibo crimes. But with such restrictions, you always have to ask, will the state push the boundaries too far? Some experts contend that this is tha way for theindian government to further restrict people's freedom.
