CHENNAI: Ahead of full-fledged 3G services coupled with Mobile Number Portability (MNP) in Tamil Nadu, the Chennai Police are working with telecom companies here to analyse the challenges these services could throw up, particularly cyber crimes. While insisting on a foolproof mechanism to ensure genuineness of the address/documents of subscribers as per TRAI guidelines, the police have asked mobile phone service providers to focus more on pre-paid numbers. A fortnight ago, Additional Commissioner of Police (Headquarters) Sanjay Arora held discussions with representatives of 10 service providers in this regard, police sources said. On the instructions of Police Commissioner T. Rajendran, senior officers, including those handling cyber crimes in the Central Crime Branch, held a brainstorming session with experts on Tuesday.
