Jump up and rejoice if you are a blackberry user and live in UAE. You can also rejoice if you were planning to travel UAE with a blackberry in hand. So today’s big news is that All the blackberry services will continue in UAE even after 11th October 2010. TRA today confirmed that BlackBerry services are now compliant with the UAE’s telecommunications regulatory framework and hence will continue to operate in normal and no suspension will occur on 11th October 2010.
Earlier this August, whole UAE business user circle went under a shock when TRA announced that Blackberry services will be suspended from 11th October 2010, even for the people who are travelling via UAE. Blackberry encrypts the data which is only decrypted at Blackberry’s Canada data server hence making it impossible for UAE authorities to monitor the content. After this announcement local mobile service providers announced lucrative alternate plans, but still blackberry users prayed for some solution to the existing Blackberry services.
So all the blackberry services which include
- BlackBerry Email
- BlackBerry web browsing
- Social networking
- Instant messaging services
will continue to function as normal.
As blackberry services survive, all the alternate plans offered by the mobile operators stand cancelled.
As mentioned before, this announcement has brought a lot of smiles and a sigh of relief to many. Are you among those happy people ?
