[liberationtech] RIM smartphone encryption, India & Middle East + National Security

[Frank Corrigan]

Subscribers might be interested to watch an excerpt from a BBC
interview, which involves the RIM CEO calling a halt to the interview, I
find the last recorded comment from  Mr Lazaridis being about
"..National Security" to be the most telling.

"After questioning him about RIM's new Playbook tablet, he asked a
question for BBC Click about RIM's problems in India and the Middle
East, where governments want to gain greater access to the tight
security system used for Blackberry's business users.

Mr Lazaridis responded by saying the question was unfair, and that the
interview was over."
