Blackberry Ban

One strike for the BlackBerry

This past week the French government has banned the use of the Blackbery device in the President's and the Prime Minister's offices amidst concerns that the emails and other valuable information can be intercepted and hacked by Americans. This is so because the data is transferred through American and UK servers.



However the maker of the Black Berry RIM has responded saying that their device is one of the safest there is, even safer than some online banking networks.

So what does this ban mean really? Well, from one speculation it's the raising of concerns of security that has faced such devices. It also opens up an interesting debate which I will be following and posting on.
