The UAE's telecoms regulator has said that the Blackberry, made by Canada's Research In Motion, operates beyond the jurisdiction of national legislation, and poses a risk to the country's national security, Wam has reported. "It is the only device operating in the country that immediately exports its data off-shore and is managed by a foreign, commercial organisation," the Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (TRA) said. The country is working to find a solution that protects consumers and operates within the boundaries of UAE law, TRA said.
