Credit: Reuters/Mosab Omar By Devidutta Tripathy and Tamara Walid NEW DELHI/DUBAI | Tue Aug 3, 2010 10:47am EDT NEW DELHI/DUBAI (Reuters) - BlackBerry maker Research In Motion may be considering concessions to governments who have voiced concerns about the tight security that makes its devices so popular, newspapers said on Tuesday. India's Economic Times newspaper reported that RIM had agreed to allow security authorities in the country to monitor BlackBerry services after pressure from governments worried about national security. Separately Kuwaiti daily al-Jarida, quoting a source it did not identify by name, said RIM had given "initial approval" to block 3,000 porn sites at the request of Kuwait's communications ministry. It said security was also a concern. The two reports follow the announcement on Sunday that the United Arab Emirates would suspend BlackBerry Messenger, email and Web browser services from October 11 unless it could access encrypted messages. RIM has declined to comment on the newspaper reports or on the reports of a UAE ban, but said on Monday in a statement it would respect both customers and governments. "RIM does not disclose confidential regulatory discussions that take place with any government," it said, without elaborating. The Ontario-based company says is keen to clear the air before Tuesday's expected launch of a new BlackBerry dubbed its "iPhone killer." Unlike rivals Nokia and iPhone maker Apple, RIM controls its own networks which handle encrypted messages through centers in Canada and the UK. That has made the BlackBerry popular as a secure way to communicate, but has worried governments. RIM's Nasdaq-listed shares fell as much as 2.7 percent before closing down 0.96 percent at $56.98 on Monday. Its Toronto-listed shares resume trading on Tuesday following a public holiday. NEGOTIATIONS IN TRAIN The Economic Times, citing internal government documents, said RIM has offered to share with Indian security agencies its technical codes for corporate email services, open up access to all consumer emails within 15 days and also develop tools in six to eight months to allow monitoring of chats. An Indian government source could not confirm or deny the details in the newspaper but told Reuters the company and security agencies were discussing several options and a deal would be reached soon. "We hope to find a solution by this month end," the official said on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to media. Kuwait's al-Jarida said Kuwait's government was working with RIM and telecom companies on "legal controls that would guarantee national security on the one hand, and the rights of citizens ... to use the device's services on the other." Saudi Arabia has also asked service providers to cut off Messenger, industry sources told Reuters. Bahrain in April warned against using Messenger to distribute news. FREEDOM OF INFORMATION The United States weighed in on the matter on Monday and said the UAE was setting a dangerous precedent in limiting freedom of information. But the UAE says it wants nothing more than what other nations have negotiated and notes it only announced plans for a ban after three years of attempts to work out a compromise. Under U.S. law, for example, authorities can use a subpoena to gain access to telecommunications data and Britain has similar rules. RIM has refused to discuss the details of its pacts with individual governments. "It is troublesome to think that RIM is already complying with U.S. and UK regulatory requirements which are virtually the same as those in the UAE," said a UAE source familiar with the matter. "So it begs the question why treat the UAE differently?" Theodore Karasik, a security analyst at Dubai-based firm INEGMA, said there were real security concerns at stake. "Some in the Dubai/UAE bashing crowd will say this is a freedom of speech issue ... but some would say the UAE brought this up at the height of threat awareness here. There are several security issues here -- Iran, Yemen, al Qaeda -- that they could be worried about," he told Reuters. "Everyone wants to get their security access. The UAE is acting as a bellwether for other countries on this," he said. In addition to security threats, the UAE has tracked several money laundering incidents, including a plot to defraud the central bank of 7.2 billion euros ($10.17 billion). The UAE, Saudi Arabia and India represent more than 2 million BlackBerry users, or about 5 percent of the 41 million devices in service worldwide. BlackBerry users in the UAE on Tuesday were offered iPhones and other handsets by service providers keen to hold on to some 500,000 customers in the Gulf Arab nation. Top provider Emirates Telecommunications Corp (Etisalat) offered free devices to customers affected by the ban.

An ashamed blackberry user. tampadouglas Report As Abusive Aug 03, 2010 9:14am EDT “So it begs the question why treat the UAE differently?” This does not beg the question. Look it up on your Blackberry, numbskull. stainpouch Report As Abusive Aug 03, 2010 9:37am EDT Complying is understandable if it is for Consumer Devices, also known as BIS or BlackBerry Internet Service. However, I don’t see how RIM can comply with BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Service) which encrypts it at the server which is in control of the enterprise. Can you elaborate on that, Jason or Amran? davidredekop Report As Abusive Aug 03, 2010 9:44am EDT A big security hole for sure, especially when paired with a huge potential for breach through younger workers’ use of social networking sites, and their casual attitude regarding data, asset, and enterprise security. Google to a free blog, “The Business-Technology Weave” – it has some great info on security, culture, etc. That author also has a great book, “I.T. WARS.” Security should be kept front and center. We assign parts of that book for new employee orientation where I work. Please keep security front and center. janice33rpm Report As Abusive Aug 03, 2010 10:15am EDT Spam and hackers are threat to any Smart phones. Also, many use Instant Messages thinking that these are not recorded like in emails. If someone is afraid of getting anything being recorded, that person may be doing something illegal or intent to do something illegal. Observer1234 Report As Abusive Aug 03, 2010 10:18am EDT If money can make exceptions to one country, then that is a security threat to other nations. Observer1234 Report As Abusive Aug 03, 2010 10:27am EDT “If someone is afraid of getting anything being recorded, that person may be doing something illegal or intent to do something illegal.” Well, yes, they “may” intend such, but, they are just as likely simply wanting some privacy from Big Brother, thank you!
