Research in Motion and the United Arab Emirates had reached a settlement about the access and security concerns raised by the government regarding RIM’s BlackBerry e-mail and browsing services, as reported by the New York Times.

“The U.A.E. telecommunications regulator said BlackBerry services were now “compliant with the U.A.E.’s telecommunications regulatory framework,” and that all BlackBerry services would continue to operate as normal beyond Monday.”

On Monday, the previous due date of the impending ban of the BB services lost its relevance, after a “positive engagement” with the U.A.E’s telecommunications authority. This authority could’ve potentially blocked RIM from a very big and profitable market. RIM’s fear of losing market share is one that seems to be biting off chunks from the privacy sector, in favor of the smartphone manufacturer.

The U.A.E is just one nation among many, from Spain and India, where things are reaching a pressure point. These’ve expressed concerns and threatened RIM with suspension and banning of BlackBerry services, unless their conditions are fulfilled for quite some time now. India, a country that recently announced a 60 days testing period of their newly granted automated access to BB services and Spain as well as the U.A.E are just too big markets to let go. As any other corporation would have done, the Canadian Research in Motion had to compromise on its and its users’ interests and privacy expenses in return to billions in future profits.
