With reference to "Banning of BlackBerry for Official Use by Pak Govt.", I do not agree with the comments (merged within the news) of Business Recorder  to relate its context with the Wikileaks. Wikileaks issue is very latest, while the efforts are since first day when Blackberry Devices were offered to Govt. Officials free of cost. It’s a good decision for Information Security in National Interest by the Cabinet Division.

This is in the context of recent Wikileaks, which left various ruling
coalition partners red faced. Wikileaks severely hurt several so called
religious-cum-clerics-cum-political leaders in the government for their
corruption. Not that people didn’t know about them earlier but still it hurt
because media continues to take up different aspects of it on daily basis.

Best wishes
