BlackBerry Taboo
If RIM has both smarts and guts they will just say NO.
To do otherwise would be to betray their customers.

August 4, Reuters – (International) Saudi and RIM in last-ditch talks. The makers of the BlackBerry smartphone held last-ditch talks with Saudi Arabia August 4 to avert a threatened cut-off of a key service, while India took a tough line with the Canadian company. Research In Motion (RIM) is facing mounting demands from governments around the world for access to its vaunted encryption system on national security grounds. The spat, which has highlighted the access some states seem to have in comparison to others, threatens to cut off some 2 million BlackBerry users in the Gulf and India. Security officials in India, a giant growth market for mobile communications, warned the service would be halted if the company failed to meet its concerns, a newspaper reported. “We are very clear that any BlackBerry service that cannot be fully intercepted by our agencies must be discontinued,” The Economic Times quoted an unnamed security official as saying. “Offering access to data is part of the telecom licensing guidelines and has to be adhered to.” An Indian government source told Reuters that RIM had proposed to share some details of its BlackBerry services, but security agencies were demanding full access to a messaging service it fears could be misused by militants. RIM has said BlackBerry security is based on a system where customers create their own key and the company neither has a master key nor any “back door” to enable RIM or any third party to gain access to crucial corporate data.
