Etisalat and Du to provide alternative solution for the BlackBerry ban in UAE.

As retarded as the UAE authorities decision sounds, I gotta respect Etisalat and Du for complying while providing another solution.

According to TBREAK, both Etisalat and Du stated that they’ll comply to UAE’s BlackBerry ban and will find a workaround.
They’ll be working on an alternative solution with the least annoyance possible.

Saudi Arabia and India are following UAE’s lead while Kuwait, according to REUTERS, is asking RIM to block porn from Kuwait users (Yet not blocking the service… Phew).

Here we go; shifting trend interest from iPhone 4’s death of grip issue to RIM BlackBerry strong encryption that governments don’t like.

One thought on “Etisalat and Du to provide alternative solution for the BlackBerry ban in UAE.

  1. kuwait should hop on the ban wagon as well.
    from what i’ve read, UAE is banning blackberry services because RIM wouldn’t comply with local regulations. However, it seems that RIM is in compliance with local regulations in other countries.
    To me, it seems that RIM is being discriminant. because of that it seems that the ban was put in place.

    MOC, grow a spine and ban blackberry
