Printing media for Millet cry: Air Force ban is actually misreading

The Indian Air Force's Tuesday report to the Indian Express website clarified that the so-called ban on the use of Chinese brands of millet phones was issued about 4-5 months ago, when the millet mobile phone has not yet started selling in India. India's Sunday Standard newspaper reported on October 19 that the Indian Air Force issued a moderate-level warning that it was considering banning the use of millet handsets for the protection of spies. The Indian Express website reported that the Indian Air Force ban may have originated in a report issued by a software security company called F. The company later corrected the report. An unnamed military officer at Western Command said the report was released about four months ago. Oddly enough, it is now being taken out of the media. Recently, the Indian Air Force did not issue any new notices on the use of the millet phone. The report should not be mistaken for a ban. Since the use of mobile phones is entirely personal, the Indian Air Force has never restricted military use of any brand of mobile phones. Speaking of the reasons for the report, he said the Indian Air Force has neither tracked the smartphone market nor recommended any mobile phone brands or mobile phone products to air Force personnel. There is no mention of a ban on the use of Chinese-made smartphones. The report is more like a reminder that mobile phones can track users ' locations and send data to servers located in Beijing. All conclusions are based on reports from other sources. The report itself is not serious at all. He said the same report had been used to alert the use of personal computers. So are the military members of the Indian Air Force having sensitive information on their phones? The Indian Air Force officer replied that not necessarily, through the mobile phone can reveal the user's location. Even if it is a bit sensitive, there is little need to worry about the disclosure of military operations information. He added: "But if any cell phones track the position of the Air Force, we will make some conclusions ourselves." The Indian Air Force has never liked to let outsiders make these conclusions. The Indian Air Force has its own network of smartphones to support, so the reliance on commercial-brand handsets is slowly diminishing. "Even within the Indian Air Force's own network, sensitive information has never been discussed," the officer said.
