15yrs for 30-seconds skype call

A new legislation has just been passed in Ethiopia that could imprison an individual for up to 15 years for making a 30-second call over Skype or Google Talk. Its been reported that the new legislation has made it illegal for anybody to use any Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) services within the country.
 The law also forbid the state owned Ethio Telecom from the use of video chatting, social media, email and any other data transfer service capable of communicating information.
The legislation has been labeled as necessary for the country’s national security and will reportedly close a loophole that was allowing some citizens to communicate without being monitored by authorities.
