Additions:
- Etisalat/Du/Service providers. Quite openly the service providers are monitoring connections. Starting with the [[WebFilterUAE internet filtering]] (which as I understood was implemented by a Canadian company using bluecoat devices?) to the failed deployment of Blackberry monitoring software. Now they are publicly working with RIM to allow them to monitor Blackberry traffic.
- Road CCTV. Abu Dhabi is deploying road CCTV on some cantilever poles that are maybe 500m apart. From what I could observe each pole has optical fiber being pulled up to it and has at least two cameras installed on top (one dome, one fixed?). That's great potential for city-wide free WiFi!

Additions:
- Country-wide WiFi network. [[http://www.tropos.com Tropos]] implemented municipal and country-wide WiFi mesh. I am wondering if this mesh is used only for data communication or it is used also to eavesdrop on WiFi signal. Sounds like it has a great potential for collecting data.

No differences.

Additions:
- CCTV cameras are pervasive. Although I feel in London there are either more or not so well hidden.
- Country-wide WiFi network. Tropos implemented municipal and country-wide WiFi mesh. I am wondering if this mesh is used only for data communication or it is used also to eavesdrop on WiFi signal. Sounds like it has a great potential for collecting data.

Now they are publicly working with RIM to allow them to monitor Blackberry
- Road speedcams. They are pretty much everywhere. In Abu Dhabi they photograph from the back (apparently to protect privacy), in Dubai they photograph from the front. I wonder if they can dazzle and confuse drivers at night due to the flash.
- Road CCTV. Abu Dhabi is deploying road CCTV on some cantilever poles. that are maybe 500m apart. From what I could observe each pole has optical fiber being pulled up to it and has at least two cameras installed on top (on dome, one fixed?). That's great potential for city-wide free WiFi!
- Are they monitoring the airwaves?

Additions:
- I think I've read somewhere (other than wikipedia) that the muezzin traditionally used to a blind person, who could not look down into the inner courts of the citizen's houses and thus could not violate privacy. Is the UAE breaking away from that tradition?
