This does not affect the Privacy Act of 1993, nor is it the same as the aforementioned Indian law. New Zealand (unlike India) still allows things like encryption, and (unlike India) this law is targeting individuals, not allowing blanket searches or warrantless taps.

Nor does it make ISPs responsible for checking for the piracy of films and such commercial interests: even the recent laws concerning piracy in NZ (allowing foreign studios access to this information) have not been used because we implemented them in a sane manner and force the aforementioned studios to pay what is really quite a nominal fee - only $25 - but which NO studio has yet actually paid (ergo, no information has been actually divulged because the legal requirements have not been met).

Even with the Amendments to the Telecom Act, the surveillance orders that can be issued relate more to crimes surrounding concerns such as drugs and weapons, not stuff like Piracy (that's covered by a separate law, as mentioned above). Please RTFA more carefully, or, if you are so inclined, the relevant section (311) of the bill itself and related acts, and stop being such a sensationalist.

I'm not saying I agree with the new law, just that it should not be misinterpreted to mean what you seem to think it means.

Two significant days of a guy's life - when he was BORN & when he discovered PORN! :D

Dont give them ideas dude.. You never know someone from Star might be reading this

Seems like Harbhajan to take over the captain ship.

Dude, no sarcasm intended. I have developed stuff in Android, though that is one OS I don't use a lot. I use Symbian, but have never bothered coding for it as I have been scared away saying it is really tough. Hence it was nice to see you taking the initiative.

For starters, you can refer the code I have put a few posts above this which identifies the operator. The remaining code would be as simple as using this Class: SmsManager | Android Developers

Like I said, pretty straight forward with Android. I have zero clue how much work would be involved with Symbian or another OS

No :numbness:

In the process.
