BlackBerry blow: Etisalat and du pull plug on new BBM services in UAE | The National:

"UAE telecoms operators have abruptly pulled the plug on BlackBerry’s newly launched BBM Channels social media service, only two weeks after its launch.

The mobile operator du said yesterday the service was no longer available, in response to guidelines from the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA).

“In accordance with the internet management policy issued by the TRA to regulate internet content that is not in line with moral, social and cultural values that the UAE stands for, the BBM Channel application is unavailable to du customers until further notice,” the company said yesterday. “We count on the support and understanding of our customers in this regard.”"
