Remember 1973 Kingston Jamaica Joe Fraizer vs George Foreman the words of that fight echo in the minds of so many boxing fans. Down Goes Frazier! Down Goes Frazier! Down Goes Frazier! Well here we go Down Goes BBM! Down Goes BBM! Down Goes BBM! Ok not as exciting as the boxing match, but Saudi Arabia has lived up to their word and takend down BlackBerry Messenger. Considering Saudi Arabia will fine $1.3 million for any wireless provider that allows the service, I don’t see that service coming back up.
Oh for any one wondering (IE the younger crowd), Howard Cosell called the Foreman vs Fraizer fight.
Now RIM has some powerful advertising for the rest of the world:
“So secure the Saudi’s have banned it”
What fun!
How right you are
