One difficulty international companies face is complying the different laws and regulations in the countries in which they do business. Recently Research In Motion, the developer of the popular Blackberry smartphones, has had trouble in India regarding their communication security.
India threatened to ban RIM's email and messenger unless the government could gain access to the encryption of these services. India claimed that unmonitored communications posed a security threat in their country. RIM's enterprise service has global security policies, and does not have custom encryption policies for individual corporate or government clients.
The threat of the proposed ban was avoided and according to RIM in a customer statement a mutual agreement is in the works. India is the fasting growing market in mobile communications.
