Biometric SIM registration approved

Quick Summary:

The board of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) approved on Wednesday the draft of a new SIM card registration system and the collection of mobile users' data through a biometric system.

The new rule is to prevent malicious registrations, such as using other people's photos, editing other people's photos from clips or using photos taken from outdated images to register, said NBTC board chairman Dr Sarana Boonbaichaiyapruck.

For these groups, the mobile phone operators will have to devise ways to carefully relax their registration procedures.
