President elections are protected With Jammers
Lately Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to the bright future and as always some political forces tried to use any possibility to gain more votes, even forbidden ones . In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used in 2004, improved ways of interfering into voting process took place.
It is well-known fact that the most widely spread method of falsification at any elections is bribing of voters. The thing is that this technique has one big disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technologies allowed a person to gain full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret tools. So several political forces decided to set small hidden wireless cams on the bribed voters to get real time video from voting cabin and so got the chance to check whether the voter made the “right” choice. Also for these purposes cell phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties provided their representatives with special phone jammers to disrupt 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop competitors from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to jam all cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only disrupts all those bands but also is rather compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As we can see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for cell phoneblockers is growing not only among common people but also among various government officials and organizations. In January 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phoneblockers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
