blackberry's blockage

the upcoming policy that minister tifatul sembiring wanted to implement, i.e blocking all blackberry connection for the reason that RIM did not comply fully with indonesia's regulation. however RIM can provide the filtering for porn access because it was entirely easy to do but the complicated thing is regarding minister tifatul sembiring soliciting interception access of secured data routed through blackberry.this is next to impossible because well frankly, blackberry was made for the secured communication between its users. it uses highly advanced encryption technology that can only be broken by RIM itself.
I think the solution would be to pressure every indonesian people to use android smartphone instead as it's fully complied with all of the ministry's requirement. hahaha....

perihal:

"But that's not going to help with the lawful intercept problem. BlackBerry messages are securely encrypted from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) to the handset, so interception is next to impossible. RIM can place a BES in Indonesia, but anyone running their own BES will bypass that and thus be able to communicate securely."
- Indonesia puts RIM on two-week notice • The Register (lihat di Google Wikipinggir)

  3. I don't think that blocking Blackberries is a good idea, that would def make ppl not buy Blackberries and that's an amazing phone, bad for the companies;((
