You do realise that this essentially means 'throw away all existing GSM 
phones' ?

If you can clone the IMEI of a phone, the network has no way of telling 
it from the cloned phone.
Yes, you can do potentially clever things on the network thing, like 
disabling new clones of phones in distant locations, but with existing 
phones, there is no way of doing it.
