According to the telecom regulator, BlackBerry security concerns will be assessed by Lebanon, recently there were lots of issues raised over the security of BlackBerry. Lebanon is an addition to the list of countries which are raising worries over smartphone devices. TRA will start talks with Canadian make rof BlackBerry, RIM over the concerns of security, according to acting Head of the Telecommunication Regulatory Authority.

All the governments around the globe have been pressurizing RIM including Indiia, UAE to allow access to encryption system on national security grounds. “We are studying the issue from all sides — technical, service-wise, economic, financial, legal and security-wise,” said Hoballah.

We already know that UAE is planning to block BlackBerry messenger, email and web browser from October, and this has been finalized already. But it is not clear what will be the decision for using BlackBerry in Lebanon.

BlackBerry is a popular smartphone all over the world but with the concerns over security in using those, people might not think of buying one. It is not clear if the security issue is true or not, but looks like people are already losing interest in devices.
