SMS in politics Mobile technologies against/help Putin's totalitarianism

Moscow, April 14: a "March of Discordants" organized by Russian opposition parties on the Moscow streets has been suppressed by Putin's forces. Many demonstrators have been injured/arrested. Among jailed: Garry Kasparov, the world chess champion and a democratic activist.
Numerous pictures of Putin's "real face" were recorded by mobile phone cameras. The evidences (photo and video) taken on site were transmitted by MMS/WAP from person to person. It's an example how user generated content might be a tool of the voice of freedom. A month ago Mike Grenville, a London based messaging expert and the author of www.160characters.org, told me about methodologies to be used by NGOs in order to mislead special services in their tracing of mobile phone users going to participate in public actions. Seems, it's time for Russian NGOs and political parties to learn those methods. There were reports that some of Moscow opposition activists were arrested on their way to join the March of Discordants. It seems, the special services/KGB in Russia know well how to track discordants, including usage of mobile phone positioning systems.
BTW, commercial location based services (LBS) and GPS navigation services are very weak in Russia as the authorities do not let them developing.

PS: In Ukraine, the major mobile operator - Kyivstar GSM - already has LBS in operation.
