Tanzania to limit SIM cards to one per network
Interesting developments in Tanzania. Looks like biometric registration programmes have now become vogue for any initiative from government that calls for registration, and it's not just happening in Kenya with our Huduma Number. _____ Tanzania plans to limit the number of mobile phone numbers an individual can own to a single line per network, in its bid to boost security and tame cybercrime. This will involve a fresh biometric registration of all SIM card holders from May 1 to September. Subscribers have to present their national identification card or its number for registration. According to the sector regulator, the current system is not secure enough and lacks important subscriber details that are vital for the national identity card registration initiated two years ago. https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/business/Tanzania-to-limit-SIM-cards-to-one...
