The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) today confirmed in a statement to Arabian Business that it had asked the two UAE telcos, Etisalat and du, to restrict BlackBerry Enterprise Services (BES) to "qualifying organisations" and not to private individuals.

"Accordingly, Enterprise Services are to be made available to qualifying organizations only and not to private individuals."
