I don't recall having to send government ID to any companies to publish MIDlets back in the day. I just uploaded them to getjar.

I have good memories about a website with ELF's for the Siemens phones. Its name had "kebab" in it. By any chance, was it you running it?

AFAIK in some countries (US?) phones were usually sold locked in a sense that you could only install J2ME midlets published by your mobile provider, who'd nickel and dime both users and devs for the privilege.

It feels like US companies have long given up the pursuit of new innovations, and are now innovating new and creative ways to rent seek their own customers.
