“It’s a compliance issue with regulatory demands,” Al Otaiba said. “It’s very straightforward. It’s not anything regarding censorship, it’s not regarding anything besides what the TRA has requested: compliance with regulatory standards.”

Two Emirati diplomats said today that talks between the United Arab Emirates and the “Research In Motion,” Canada is progressing well and  may soon find a solution to the dispute over the security of mobile data “BlackBerry.”

The UAE Ambassador to the United States Yousif Al Otaiba told reporters after a meeting of ambassadors in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, the talks were progressing well, and hoped to reach a conclusion in the near future. He was also asked whether it was possible to conclude a similar agreement for the United Arab Emirates Saudi Arabia agreement with the Canadian company, and he said, “Every country has its own requirements and rules of the organization.”

BlackBerry Messenger, email and web browsing services will be halted in the UAE from October 11, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority said in a statement on August 1. The regulator claims BlackBerry messages, which are transferred to computer servers outside the country, can’t be monitored as stipulated under national security laws. In addition, RIM will provide an automated solution for tracking BlackBerry smartphone messages by November, said the officials who declined to be named because the discussions are private.

Inshalla all works out ….
