Yes, this situation is all a bit of a mess. Its being talked about quite a bit back in India over the last few days, especially as this guy had no idea that this law existed (and neither did the border police that checked his vehichle when he came in). It'd funny as the law that they actually arrested the guy on also could be seen to restricting the use of things like cordless phones, FM mics, radio controlled toys etc.

Basically their clamping down on things a bit after the Mumbai terrorist attacks a year ago! Looks like sat phones were used a lot in that, as were VoIP accounts with incoming US DID's.
