The Ministry for development of information technologies and communications has developed a draft resolution of the President "On additional measures on streamlining the system of accounting and import of mobile devices in the Republic of Uzbekistan".
The draft resolution envisages the implementation of International Mobile Equipment Identity system (IMEI).
Similar mechanisms are currently used in many countries around the world. It allows suppressing and fighting against the illegal import and use of non-certified mobile devices.
Along with this, the system of registration of devices using IMEI-codes would allow to raise the efficiency of the fight against the unauthorized use of networks and telecommunications, reduce the number of thefts and increase the responsiveness.
Reference
Uzbekistan`s market of mobile devices is estimated at about 2-3 million units per year. It is fueled mostly by an illegal entry of non-certified goods. The number of mobile subscribers comprises 21.5 million.
