In Isreal there had been a ban on ipads. In the article that I have read the ban had been reserved. The ministry in Isreal had banned the iPad due to the WiFi not meeting the standards of Isreal as the same in Europe. It is said that the iPad's Wifi only meet the standards of America. In the article it is stated that some citizens iPad had been sieze due these standards. Many of the electronic saveey citizens complained to the government in reference to this issue. The communications ministry then completed a "intensive techincal scrunity" of the product. This was done by the vis a vis Apple team in Isreal as well some team members in Europe. The team came to the conclusion the device could be operated in different standards, which will meet the standards of Isreal. The officials then reversed the ban on the device so that all tourist and isreali citizens can use the device with out it being seized by authority officials. In the article it states once the iphone was released this was not an issue in Isreal but must get accessory.

I feel that this article was very effective. I think that it was ridiculous for Isreali officials to seize a harmless device from both citizens and tourist. I feel as though they should have just accepted the product as it was released. In the article it clearly states they accepted the iphone and it is made by apple just as the ipad is. I dont really understand the wi-fi standards, but Im pretty sure that the people in apple wouldnt have sold a product in a country where the device wouldnt work. I feel as the communication ministry should have investigated the product at a early date it would have save time and the money of those that had there iPad's taken. The whole situation is bizarre and I feel that more time and money could have been put into something else.
