Indonesia has threatened to cut data services used by millions of BlackBerry customers, the industry body said Saturday, in an ongoing spat over infrastructure and government access to information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The industry regulator said it would block internet services to the smartphones in the biggest market for Research In Motion (RIM) — which makes the BlackBerry — outside North America if RIM did not comply with its demands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canada-based RIM had agreed in January to fulfil four requests made by the communications and information technology ministry.<\/p>\n

The requests included setting up an aggregator that would effectively reduce costs for local service providers, but authorities claimed Saturday RIM had rolled back on that commitment.<\/p>\n

The government also requested that RIM set up customer care centers, block pornography from its service, and assist the government in accessing encrypted data on users’ phones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

RIM said, however, that it has addressed all the requests and that it is looking at new multimillion-dollar investments in Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Indonesia is RIM’s biggest market outside North America<\/strong>, with shipments of BlackBerry smartphones expected to surpass nine million units by the year end.<\/p>\n

The government’s threats come just two weeks after a BlackBerry promotional event turned disastrous.<\/p>\n
