All this bull crap started because of the rumor-spreading acts.

Let me put it for you clear, in the gulf region, there is no way that any of the countries like KSA or UAE would block a service this fast and this efficient unless a member of the ruling family was in danger.

This whole move started because of the many rumors people keep spreading and the fake identities people hold through the BB, and all what these governments want is to be able to track these rumors down to its source.

As you said Sea Urchin, if a terrorist organization knows that their BBs are being monitored then no one of them will be using anytime soon, especially not after all the world wide announcements these countries have done. Terrorists will always find a way to have their own private servers that bypass the telecos monitoring.]]>Aug 10th 2010 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/saudi-arabia-pleased-by-rims-concession-says-blackberry-messag/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/saudi-arabia-pleased-by-rims-concession-says-blackberry-messag/Did you know: now Taliban can set up an ENTIRE GSM NETWORK on their own.

Governments trying to shut down access to the net in their country may find it a bit more difficult then just making a law against it. Between satellite based internet access and non centralized networks such as peer to peer and so on, they might find they have a bit of a fight on their hands, technically speaking. But to be honest, I think this has more to do with daily monitoring what the average Joe is up to rather then the average terrorist. Anyone doing something illegal is going to take steps to mitigate the fact that he/she is being monitored by society in general and if he were to use a BB it would be in a code. Where as the average Abdul isn't going to worry too much about it.]]>Aug 10th 2010 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/saudi-arabia-pleased-by-rims-concession-says-blackberry-messag/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/saudi-arabia-pleased-by-rims-concession-says-blackberry-messag/"If you aren't doing anything harmful, you'll be safe and ok"
