BlackBerry Services Will Be Halted in U.A.E. as Traffic Can't Be Monitored - Bloomberg

Research In Motion Ltd.’s BlackBerry services will be suspended in the United Arab Emirates from October as the government aims to stop communications that can’t be monitored.

The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority will stop BlackBerry’s Messenger, e-mail and Web browsing services from Oct. 11, according to a statement carried by state-run Emirates News Agency.

The regulator informed the U.A.E.’s domestic telephone companies Emirates Telecommunications Corp., known as Etisalat, and Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Co., the Dubai-based phone and Internet company known as Du, of the suspension and instructed them to shift clients to other services."
