Comment on Iran's internet shutdown is chillingly precise and may last some timeparent

Comments

A government may introduce a list of identifiers of devices allowed to operate in their territory. With relatively frequent verification to prevent the use of captured devices.

Not a bad idea, but I doubt they know how many they have or their citizens have. Let alone serial numbers
