Eventually the company RIM (Research In Motion) also spoke. After a chaotic on blocking the re-sticking Blackberry recently, the Canadian company finally agreed to block pornographic content on their Internet networks, a special territory of Indonesia.
RIM states that the manufacture of these filters is a major priority. RIM will work together with the Indonesian government and all mobile phone companies to implement BlackBerry service providers such blocking.
As was reported earlier, Menkominfo Tifatul Sembiring threatened to block the Blackberry network in Indonesia, if not close the smells of porn content on its Internet network. Tifatul give deadline until January 21, 2011 for RIM to respond to the request.
Blackberry blocking threat is not new to RIM. Previously, the Middle East countries like Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates have threatened to block the Blackberry network in their country due to security issues. Because the application server Blackberry Messenger, Blackberry security features to exchange information between users, has its own server located in Canada, so the contents can not be monitored and the government feared would be a place to exchange ideas between the terrorists so as to endanger state security. But thanks to tough negotiations, finally the two countries 'peace' with RIM.
In Indonesia alone the issue of blocking the Blackberry has been around since long before, but always lost. But this time Menkominfo Tifatul apparently really serious 'pursuit' desires, which makes RIM finally acted.
Indonesia is a potential market for the Asia Pacific Rim. Based on the Boston Consulting Group report, Internet users in Brazil, Russia, China, India, and Indonesia is expected to increase two-fold to 1.2 billion by 2015 from 610 million users.
