tambahan topik sama tulisan di FutureGov:
Sekali lagi tulisan Robin Hicks tersebut diawali dengan mengarahkan
issue BB kepada masalah jaminan RIM atas inkripsi dan keamanan informasi
sehingga siapapun tidak ada yang akan bisa mengakses informasi&
komunikasi yang dioperasikan oleh RIM termasuk negara tempat pelanggan
berada, dan nyaris tidak ada media yang mengangkat siapa yang menjamin
RIM tidak merekam, memanfaatkan semua informasi dan komunikasi pelanggan
globalnya yang diproses secara terpusat di Kanada dan dilindungi dengan
hukum dinegara tersebut , sehingga seharusnya bisa diyakini bahwa RIM
merupakan badan pengendali informasi global yang sangat mudah
memanfaatkan rekaman akses komunikasi dan informasi pelanggan berikut
seluruh relasi kegiatan pelanggannya, untuk selanjutnya bisa menjadi
sumber data global business intelegence, dan banyak data mining yang
bisa dilakukan, termasuk untuk kepentingan pengamatan intelejen bagi
kepentingan negara nya dan negara adikuasa tertentu yang punya relasi
rehasia.

BlackBerry & the future of mobile government

It is unlikely that the kerfuffle over the BlackBerry over the past
fortnight will do anything but increase the popularity of the devices
that brought email to the palms of our hands.
Grievances aired by an army of governments, mostly in the Middle East
but also India, China and Indonesia, that they cannot access encrypted
content on BlackBerry’s Messenger, email and web browsing services will
only provide assurance to the enterprises that use them. Not least some
government departments, who were at first skeptical that the devices
were not secure enough for them to use.
The Jakarta Regional Planning Board, which impressed delegates at the
FutureGov Summit last year with a presentation on how the BlackBerry
could be used as a mobile disaster management network, will have been
quietly alarmed by the news that Indonesia’s Communications ministry
spokesman Gatot Dewa Broto wanted to ban the things.
Broto later denied he wanted BlackBerry services blocked, but said he
wanted Research in Motion, BlackBerry’s maker, to build a data centre in
Indonesia to get around the problem. With Indonesian sales of the
BlackBerry growing by 500 per cent last year, it would be tempting for
RIM to do as asked.
However, the laws of branding would suggest that asking BlackBerry to
relax its data security would by like asking Google to hand over the
source code to its search engine, and the company which made US$4.4
billion in the first quarter of 2010 will have enjoyed some good PR for
standing its ground.
RIM’s security policy is very clear: “The BlackBerry security
architecture for enterprise customers is purposefully designed to
exclude the capability for RIM or any third party to read encrypted
information under any circumstances.”
The ease with which government officials use the device has rested on
this promise, although talk of BlackBerry cutting deals with a select
group of governments (most likely the recent victims of terrorism) to
decrypt communications has muddied the waters.
Even so, news of a possible ban in some countries will probably not
curtail the use of the BlackBerry in others, says Matt Poelmans of
Citizenlink, of the Dutch Government’s Ministry of the Interior. If it
did, it would be to take a step backwards for an increasingly mobile
government workforce, he says.
“Mobile government is probably one of the most promising roads to Gov
2.0. Especially in countries where many people do not have a computer at
home. Almost everyone can afford a mobile device these nowadays. A ban
would also limit the further development of commercial services in the
fields of banking or ticketing.”
Limits on the use of the BlackBerry would irk those at the highest
levels of government. The Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maxime
Verhagen, uses his Blackberry for daily tweets and dialogue
<http://www.hierisministerverhagen.nl/> with citizens. Recently he
complained that his ministry wanted to limit his use for security reasons.
