Well Indonesia is a largest of Blackberry market as for now we get information RIM has sold the phone over 4 million units just in Indonesia. We can tell that Blackberry is a rich folks trademark in Indonesia. Few weeks ago RIM has sold the Blackberry "Belagio" for just 50% off the normal price. And you know the day before there has been thousand people waiting to buy it. This might be one of a kind event in Indonesia which no other vendors has done that.

Anyway the Indonesian government now is threatening to ban BIS and BBM services within the nation if RIM doesn't build its data center server in Indonesia. It seems that Indonesian government are upset that Research in Motion will be building its new data centers in Singapore, rather than in Indonesia.

RIM is aware that Indonesia is a huge market, but unfortunately under-appreciated. "The money obtained from these countries are also big, so contributed a server in Indonesia also for the benefit of their markets in the future.

Righ now the current BlackBerry users from all over the RIM's partner operator , such as Indosat, Telkomsel, XL, Three, Axis, Bakrie, and Smartfren, has 10 million subscribers. Soon if this banned executed, Blackberry will be just an ordinary smartphone just like the others.
