For security reason? We are here in Indonesia, dominated by RIM BB, and used to calls, emails, sms for government purpose. And all datas saved directly to RIM's BB server. So Canada had Indonesian Government datas if someone in their server had manage to accessed the data storage. So, do you think it is better for Indonesia to ban RIM BB so there is no way for Canadian to spy on Indonesia's Government?

So biased intelligence... can we called them Dumbelligence?

Exactly Asia should ban RIM. India already threatened them but seems they got away by paying some green money :)

Hmmm countries which allow walmart, mosanto should also ban them going by the influence that politicians have on these companies. After all didn;t baxter release live virus just because some politician held shares of company that made tamiflu?

The US doesn't want China spying on Canada. The US wants Canada to buy US company equipment so that the US can spy on Canada instead.
