"The forty-eight hour deadline came and went, but Saudi Arabia didn't pull the plug -- citing a \"positive development\" in RIM's efforts to appease Saudi regulators, the country has allowed BlackBerry messaging services to continue for the time being. Saudi Arabia's Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) didn't specify what the aforementioned \"development\" was, but thanks to well-placed anonymous sources we can hazard a guess: \"CITC will now be able to monitor communications via messaging services,\" one Saudi telecom official told the Wall Street Journal, and Reuters reports that RIM will hand over BlackBerry decryption codes to the country. That's all for now, but expect this issue to bubble back to the surface again in the United Arab Emirates  come October."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
