Your reference is 9 months old. This is part of why it is unfair. If it was a current issue, that would make sense to bring up in the discussion. But the problem was resolved to the satisfaction of those governments, meaning that the average customer should not be concerned.

This one is only a month old and suggests that the issue is far from resolved:

"A deadline of March 31st has been given to the BlackBerry manufacturer, Research in Motion, to hand over encryption keys which would allow the Indian government to intercept corporate emails and other data used on the secure handsets."

"The corporate BlackBerry system works in such a secure manner, that even the BlackBerry manufacturer cannot intercept messages on its systems, leading to Research in Motion being unable to offer what the Indian government wants."

Was this resolved? I can't find anything newer than the above. Maybe the BBC-interviewer couldn't either and wanted to know what's happening.
