"The ban by India's Department of Telecommunicationshas been unfolding 
gradually since Oct. 6, 2008, six weeks before the attacks in Mumbai killed 173 
people and wounded 308.
A memo then directed service providers to cut off cellphone users whose devices 
didn't have a real IMEI — or unique identity number — in the interests of 
"national security."
Since then, the move has picked up steam as a way to circumvent terrorists 
using black market, unregistered cellphones."
