Slashdot | Saudi Says RIM Deal Reached; BlackBerry OK, If We Can Read the Messages:

'There's a deal on the table to avert a ban on Blackberry's messenger service in Saudi Arabia. A Saudi regulatory official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told the Associated Press the deal involves placing a server in Saudi Arabia ... and letting the government monitor users' messages, easing Saudi concerns over security and criminal usage. The deal could have wide-ranging implications, given how many other countries have expressed similar concerns, or in the case of the United Arab Emirates, have threatened to block Blackberry email and messaging services.'

Perhaps the governments of UAE and India would be satisfied, too, if only they had access to the messages transmitted."
