Saudi Arabia BlackBerry Messenger Service is Back up

August 6, 2010 by Rod 1 Comment

If you recall my earlier post I talked about the Frazier vs Forman fight in 1973.  If I recall the fight correctly Frazier did get up several time, much like BBM service in Saudi Arabia being restored.  Either this is the calm before the storm or the government just realized this will impact them as well.  Either way the BBC reported that service was actually functional in Saudi Arabis.  OH the saga continues.  RIM has made many statement explaining how they cannot provide encryption keys but this has to be the most clearly explained on.

“RIM cannot accommodate any request for a copy of a customer’s encryption key, since at no time does RIM, or any wireless network operator or any third party, ever possess a copy of the key.”

This may have to do with recent US conversations.  Its funny if the country shuts off service then turns it back on you are lead to believe RIM complied.  Let’s see if RIM makes any statement explain they have not provided the government with a solution because…well read the quote above

    U.S. intervention is more likely the scenario, rather than RIM caving into pressure. Remember that the Saudi family is in bed with the U.S. government since post-1973 oil crisis; their country is completely dependent on the U.S. I am sure political pressure has played a major factor considering the American government relies on these devices.
