UAE: BlackBerrys won’t be picked on (yet) | beyondbrics | FT.com

Good news for businessmen in the United Arab Emirates: your BlackBerrys are a little closer to safety.

On Sunday the country’s telecoms regulator warned that the smartphones currently operate “beyond the jurisdiction of national legislation”. Today it rowed back, claiming to have no plans to introduce a ban.

In an interview with Al Arabiyah, a Dubai-based news channel, an official at the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) said that the UAE is “studying all options to regulate the services…but we don’t have plans to stop them.”
