While we refer from writing about politics, this piece is about misuse of the mobile technology. The best way to fight the opposition is to kill their channels of communication. That seems exactly what the Myanmar’s military government is doing with their latest move. Apparently, they’ve cut off the mobile phones of prominent pro-democracy supporters, Buddhist monks and of some foreign media journalists.
The idea is to curb the spread of information about protests which started back on in August, and keep the “good ol’ folks” on their seats. Yeah, that could help… for a short period of time.
Anyway, it’s hard to comment activities in the land that far away, but I know one thing – in cases like this, information usually finds its way to the people… sooner or later.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
