Kuwait City: Unlike the neighboring Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, Kuwait said it has no plans to ban some BlackBerry services over security concerns. "At the moment, I can tell you that there is no intention to stop BlackBerry services in Kuwait," communications minister Mohammad al-Baseeri told reporters. He said, however, that the oil-rich state was waiting for solutions to be provided by the Canadian maker of BlackBerry, Research in Motion, to answer the concerns of those governments. "We are in direct and indirect talks, and contact, with Saudi Arabia, UAE and the BlackBerry maker to follow up on the solutions presented by the company," he said.
