Jammers Vs Falsifications
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to prosperity and as usual some political forces tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even illegal one. In addition to “standard” ways of falsification that were used in 2004, improved methods of interfering into voting process took place.
Everyone knows that the most widely spread method of falsification at any elections is bribing of voters. The thing is that this method has serious disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s equipment made possible for a person to get absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy devices. Thus several political forces decided to place small hidden wireless cameras on the bribed voters to receive real time video from voting cabin and so got the chance to check whether the voter made the “right” decision. Also for these purposes mobile phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties provided their representatives with special cell phone jammer to block 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop competitors from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to block any cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only disrupts all those frequencies but also is highly compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As we see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for phoneblockers is growing not only among common people but also among various government officials and organizations. In winter 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
