Thailand - The permanent secretary for Information and Communications Technology will Thursday summon all mobile phone service operators to warn them against eavesdropping.
ICT Minister Sitthichai Pookaiyaudom said the warning would be given after Gen Sonthi Boonyaratglin, chairman of the Council for National Security, said his phone conversation was tapped and leaked to Singapore.
Sitthichai said the permanent secretary would warn the operators that their license could be terminated if they are found to have conducted electronic eavesdropping.
Sitthichai said he would also order an investigation to find out which agencies have phone tapping equipment in possession. (more)
