(Update 0022hrs 11082010) Rais Yatim says MCMC gathering information on BlackBerry service for his ministry to evaluate and decide if a ban is necessary. More here.
Information, Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Rais Yatim has ruled out any move to ban on Blackberry in Malaysia which is currently used by an estimated 1.5 million users.
According to Malaysian Mobile Content Providers Association’s president, there would be much opposition if they ban it here especially when the government themselves rely on Blackberry services including top government agencies and the police.
UAE and Saudi Arabia government had earlier announced the ban on Blackberry service as user communication data is encrypted with no possible monitoring by its government. The Indonesian government has also demand for local monitoring which could possibly lead to a similar ban if RIM does not comply.
With this announcement, blackberry users and our local telcos can now breathe a sigh of relief. Blackberry Torch 9800 anyone?
