| hmm, what you wrote reminds me my experience in Zurich, Switzerland. Swiss tend to treat people's privacy differently. In Swisscom's phone booth, there is a terminal, from which screen you can search all the resident phone number cross Switzerland, this is nothing fancy, while hold on, apart from the phone number you get from the name searching(it was impossible to ask Swisscom to hind your name from this public accessable database), you also get the Academic Degree you posses and Academic Title you have! , together with your Home Address! |
