Research in Motion Reaches Deal With Saudi Arabia

Research In Motion has remained tight-lipped Saudi officials said the company has reached a tentative agreement that would allow the Government of the Kingdom "access to encrypted data of BlackBerry users to avoid the ban on mobile phones in the country.

The agreement is to place a server within Saudi borders, an official told the Associated Press on Saturday. The move likely would leave messages for control of the government and to dispel the concern that Blackberry could be used for criminal purposes " said Mohammed al-Bandar, a senior Saudi Communications and Information Technology Commission.
