The history of terrorists using pre-paid SIMs/phones for both coordination and remote bomb detonation has necessitated this.

Horse hockey. They'll still do the same thing, there'll just be larger networks of individuals who activate a SIM and then swap it with someone else. The terrorist excuse is no excuse at all. It's just a pragmatist's paving stone on the path to hell and tyranny.

That seems kind of silly given you can easily buy a SIM card from eBay for another country that doesn't have such requirements.
