Blackberry boasts of one of the most secure networks ever in mobile services. But this advantage might actually be a reason of contempt among a few specific regions- a result Blackberry might never have contemplated about.

Saudi Arabia today declared a ban on Blackberry services, which will come into effect from this Friday. This is the direct result of the government and Research In Motion not seeing eye-to-eye over security concerns. The Saudi government would like to have more access to data sent through the services, something RIM doesn’t see as credible. Fair enough for both sides, as the governments around the world have started taking more note of what people are discussing about over the networks, and Blackberry can hardly resist from offering what it spent years in perfecting.

Even UAE had declared just a while ago that it has been pondering upon the exact same idea, and the Indian government is not thinking much too differently either. The governments are miffed at the fact that there is no possible “backdoor” entry, not even for RIM, to access Blackberry servers where every user has his own key.

There is but one doubt remaining in the mind of most folks, why is Blackberry being attacked when other popular services like Gmail are equally secure and hard to decrypt. Maybe we will find the answer soon and also know what happens when both sides fight for their own true rights.
