BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. confirmed that the United Arab Emirates will stop individuals and small businesses from using the mobile device's highly secure corporate-email services. The restriction, effective May 1, applies only to individuals and businesses with fewer than 20 subscriptions to BlackBerry Enterprise Services accounts, said a spokeswoman for the UAE's Telecommunications Regulatory Authority. The regulator didn't give a reason for its decision. Etisalat, the state-controlled telecom carrier, advised customers of the change in an email, the regulator's spokeswoman said.
