Its really sad to know that, after the launch of 3G services with lots of hardships, they are now being convicted to create some security issues for the nation. As of now, there are no ways to monitor 3G calls on real time basis and the Intelligence Bureau is concerned about how secure they are (3G services) for the nation.
Reportedly, its been said that, the Intelligence Bueareu of the country wants to halt 3G services in the country until such real time monitoring mechanism is implemented, whereas telecom companies are of the view that, such monitoring mechanism should be implemented by the security agencies of the country as they are concerned about such security issues.

A new type of text message called StealthtText launched by Staellium UK Ltd self-destructs in 40 seconds, according to The Daily Record.
This tape will self-destruct in five seconds? became a household phrase in the 60s and 70s thanks to the creators of Mission Impossible, and now 30 years later the ability to send your own self destruct messages has become a reality thanks to a new innovation ? called StealthText launched by Staellium UK Ltd.
Whether you?re a celebrity who?s up to no good or a business executive dealing in sensitive information, the last thing you want is for urgent text messages you?ve sent to fall into the wrong hands. StealthText allows you to send a text message safely in the knowledge that it will delete itself from the recipient?s mobile phone as soon as the person has read it ? ultimately, allowing the sender control of their own information.
Until now, mobile phone users have had to rely on recipients to delete sensitive text messages on their behalf; although a number of high profile cases (Rebecca Loos), have shown that this cannot always be relied on.
However, by simple keying in a code, StealthText users can rest assured that the message goes up in smoke, just like the famous tapes scenes in the Mission Impossible series
