France renews ban on BlackBerrys

Considering what we have witnessed by compliant telecom companies hoping to please Washington, who could blame France for such a move? Granted, I don’t find a need to be available 24 hours a day and like being out of reach, but between the problems with security plus the government-friendly tendencies of telcos, it’s more surprising that other countries and businesses are not insisting on avoiding BlackBerrys.
