Burkina Faso’s Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications and Posts (ARCEP) has said it has met with the country’s three mobile operators to discuss the revival of SIM registration to help tighten up security. The process was first carried out in 2010, but according to the regulator the results were ‘unsatisfactory’, with a high level of unregistered SIM cards still on the market, some of which are being used to commit offences. As such, ARCEP has said that from October 2012, mobile operators Telmob, Airtel Burkina Faso and Telecel Faso will no longer be able to sell unregistered or part-registered SIM cards.
