But really, what is this saying about the companies that are allowed to remain? Does the Pakistani government have the ability to monitor every message/email sent via phones through a domestic carrier? (I suppose all carriers are domestic.)
As a business decision, is this really smart for Blackberry? There is a decent market in Pakistan, after all.
- alexqgb 11y agoMaybe, but you have to consider that meeting the conditions to enter this market could seriously damage your value proposition in every other market you serve—or want to serve. That's the opposite of a "decent" market.
- abdullahkhalids 11y agoThere are other carriers in the country, not all of which are domestic. They have all provided 'lawful' interception capabilities for several years now [1]. The government is currently pushing for a new cyber-crime bill that will give it even more surveillance powers [2].
