German Defense Ministry Cancels Large Blackberry Order Over Security Concerns

Greg Sandoval writes in the C|Net Security Blog:

Britain has too much access to BlackBerry e-mail traffic for the liking of Germany's high command.

For the first time, the Bundeswehr will not distribute the e-mail enabled phone and PDA to ranking political and military officers because of concerns that e-mail traffic passes through a data center in Great Britain, according to the German publication, Wirtschaftswoche.

Germany fears that British intelligence could possibly intercept important communications.

Germany's Defense Ministry has canceled a large order with T-Mobile.
