    BlackBerry ban will extend to foreign visitors

    The Emirates' looming ban on BlackBerry e-mail, messaging and Web browsing services will extend to foreign visitors too, said the country's telecom regulator, raising the stakes in its dispute with the maker of the popular business tools.

    These comments sound very similar to those of the ANC government in the new Act.

    Does this mean that South Africa is next ?

    It is very sad that RIM is under fire for offering the most secure mobile devise on the market! facebook is always criticized for luck of privacy for users and yet ironically, RIM IS IN TROUBLE FOR BEEN TOO SECURE? Biggest load of Nosense!

    I hope they do... you know how many "Average Joe's" have BB's now days ? Our tea lady has one. There will be riots in the streets, South Africa is the fastest growing BB market in the world.

    I think that what might happen is BB will rather open up their servers for the government to monitor.
