DescriptionFRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The United Arab Emirates say it's imposing a ban on Blackberry mobile devices starting this October.

The bans will apply to its citizens and foreign visitors. The bans are being enacted by the Middle Eastern country over concerns that data from the devices is sent abroad. There are also concerns from the government over the inability to block objectionable content like pornography and some political web-sites.
