After saying that it would cease offering services in Pakistan after refusing a government demand for a backdoor into its encrypted communication service, BlackBerry said it will now continue service in the market. "After productive discussions, the Government of Pakistan has rescinded its shutdown order, and BlackBerry has decided to remain in the Pakistan market," Marty Beard, Chief Operating Officer at BlackBerry, wrote in a blog post. The Canadian smartphone maker said in November that the Pakistani government was looking for ways to monitor all BlackBerry Enterprise Service traffic in the country. After refusing to comply with the demand, the government said it would prohibit BlackBerry's BES servers from operating in Pakistan at the end of December. Initially ordered to exit the country by November 30, BlackBerry was allowed to continue operations for another month, extending the shutdown order to Dec. 30.
