India To Have Automatic Communications Monitoring 96
angry tapir writes "India plans to set up a centralized system to monitor communications on mobile phones, landlines and the Internet in the country, a minister has told the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament. Indian laws allow the interception and monitoring of communications under certain conditions, including to counter terrorism. A pilot of the new Centralized Monitoring System (CMS) is to be started by June next year, subject to clearances by other government agencies."

Things to keep in mind:
* When it costs a trillion dollars, they will squash it.
* you will know your call is being monitored because the lights will dim
* you will know when something you said/did requires deeper look because the lights will go out and your call or internet will become choppy or drop
* you will know when you said something suspicious but they don't know why, and you will wake up in The Village.
* you will know your neighbour is trouble because your lights will dim often.
