How Secure Are You?

BlackBerry, 

the Best Business Cellphone 

and Business Cellphone Service in the World, 

has been told by 

"The Pakistan Telecommunications Authority, that BlackBerry’s BES Servers would no longer be allowed to operate in the Country starting in December for security reasons. (The deadline has been set to December 30th.) The truth is that the Pakistani Government wanted the ability to monitor all BlackBerry Enterprise Service traffic in the country, including every BES e-mail and BES BBM message. But BlackBerry will not comply with that sort of directive. As we have said many times, we do not support back doors granting open access to our customer's information and have never done this anywhere in the world. Pakistan’s demand was not a question of public safety; we are more than happy to assist law enforcement agencies in investigations of criminal activity. Rather, Pakistan was essentially demanding unfettered access to all of our BES customer's information. The privacy of our customers is paramount to BlackBerry, and we will not compromise that principle." by Marty Beard for Inside BlackBerry 

I applaud their efforts, 

but I have to wonder if it is really a matter of Ethics 

or Money?

I also have to wonder if the other Cellphone Companies in Pakistan have already complied?

There is a reason the U.S. Government pays Cellphone Companies millions of dollars per year. 

Both parties also sight the reason for the 

Payola 

is to monitor criminal activity. 

The NSA does it on American citizens because it can, 

legally. 

They have the computers to do so, 

Pakistan doesn't.

I just wonder, 

how much information about a person,

is going to be too much information about that person,

before that person stands up

and says,

enough is enough?

Probably when he realizes that he has been held back in life because of all the information out there about him.
