Indonesia's telecoms regulatory agency, the BTRI, has told the Jakarta Post that they may have to shut down RIM's BlackBerry Messenger and Internet services after the company declined to establish BBM servers within the country. RIM opted to put its servers in neighboring Singapore, for reasons not described in the article. BTRI says it must do this because "the data exchanged is not safe."Anyone can see through this transparent excuse for bullying RIM — they're not the first to try it. Saudi Arabia and India recently made similar threats, though they were more forthcoming about their reasons. They wanted the power to monitor the transmissions, and chances are Indonesia does too.
