Suspending cellular services

ISLAMABAD: Every other day, the government suspends cellular services citing terrorism as the reason. If one goes by this logic, the only way to track down terrorists is to let mobile services remain open thus providing solid evidence to our security agencies to track them down.

However, if the cause of national security is only served by suspending services, then why not go one step forward and do away with cellular networks in Pakistan altogether.
