Lebanese Telecoms minister Charbel Nahhas has expressed hope that BlackBerry maker Research In Motion will give the country a programme that would allow it to access information used on the smartphone device, Reuters has reported. "The ministry is studying this file and preparing it for talks with RIM ... with the aim of getting the programme that allows a state to access information transferred through this device," Nahhas was quoted as saying in As-Safir newspaper. Nahhas, who said Lebanon has about 60,000 BlackBerry users, said no decision had yet been taken to restrict the smartphone's services in the country.
