RIM co-chief Mike Lazaridis in an interview late Wednesday struck back at imminent BlackBerry service bans by drawing the entire industry into the debate. The executive argued that attempts to ban the encrypted e-mail, messaging and web were part of a larger problem with Internet control as a whole and suggested India, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries were simply afraid of coping with modern communication. If it were possible to intercept BlackBerry data, it wouldn't stop the flow, according to Lazaridis.
