Back in August we reported that The United Arab Emirates were planning to restrict the use of Blackberry’s because of National Security. Following talks with Blackberry maker, Research in Motion, they have confirmed that they will not be going ahead with any ban to Blackberry services.The UAE Telecommunications Regulatory Authority felt the service posed a risk to National Security because the network was encrypted and then the data was stored abroad. As a result they had threatened to suspend all Blackberry services from 11th October.
However, after collaborating with Research in Motion, the Regulatory Authority said this in a statement: "All Blackberry services in the UAE will continue to operate as normal and no suspension of service will occur on October 11, 2010".
