So now, in addition to Saudi Arabia and other UAE countries, add India to the list of countries that you probably don't want to use your Blackberry in.

Saudi Arabia recently forced RIM to install servers there that allows the government to snoop on Blackberry communications. I think RIM is about to cave in India, and on top of that, the Indian government wants access to Google, Skype, and VPN data!

I wonder how much interest will grow in those countries for strong encryption and easy steganography.

Yet more countries go on to my Do Not Visit list.
