Backdoor access in exchange for market presence? Well that's one way to get past rim's security, give us the master key or stop selling in our country. I wonder which other country is playing this game.

They dont have to do that. They can just use Nasus. A phone wont work without a network

The key words there are "have to". No, they do not "have to" do anything.

Its kinda like google censoring search results for china. When the shareholders voted on the issue, one of the lead guys from google said they were there to make money, not to get involved in politics. Google finally pulled out of china.

The best thing to do with a repressive government is to boycott them. Do not do business with them, that way the company does not have to give in.

If you do not stand for something, you will fall for anything.
