The Court ruled with a majority of votes the bill was illegal, unclear and unpredictable.
The Court found the bill did not regulate the storage of personal data of users of prepaid and wi-fi services so as to prevent the illicit or abusive use of said personal data.
The bill, approved by the government in April this year, required telecom operators to store personal data of prepaid services users in a bid to make prepaid SIM cards traceable, citing national security needs.
