Israel’s Communications Ministry will not allow iPads into the country until the machine meets Israel’s Wi-Fi standard.
Until April 19, Israelis could enter with an iPad as long as they paid the value added tax. But customs agents are stopping travelers now and confiscating the machines, which can cost up to $700. If the iPad remains in customs for more than 48 hours, the owner will have to pay for storage and any fines levied.
The Communications Ministry says the computer’s current settings will place a strain on the wireless Internet in Israel, Ynetnews.com reported. — jta
