Saudi Arabia’s telecommunicati ons regulator has threatened to block messaging applications, such as Skype, WhatsApp and Viber if telecommunicati on companies fail to monitor the applications. The Saudi Telecommunicati ons and Information Technology Commission urged telecom companies to examine possible ways for security oversight with the companies who own those "apps." The commission gave the telecom companies until the end of this week to respond. In case they say it is impossible to monitor the applications, the commission said it will consider procedures to block them altogether in the Kingdom. The Saudi telecommunicati on watchdog had addressed a similar case with BlackBerry maker Research In Motion (RIM) in 2010 when it ordered local telecommunicati on companies to suspend BlackBerry messenger services. The Kingdom demanded access to Blackberry’s encrypted network. — Al Arabiya Source: SAUDI GAZETTE |
