I wrote a detailed article on the IMEI situation in Current weekly, issue of Mon
26 Jan 09 to 01 Feb 09.

Also had very interesting discussions on this (especially with some British
experts) at CII's Internal Security conference. Saw how anyone's movements can
be tracked from their IMEI & IMSI numbers. One company had a product which could
track all cellphone users in a 300 meter radius and snoop on all their phone
calls & SMS.
