Saudi Arabia will allow BlackBerry's Messenger service to continue beyond a 48-hour deadline due to "positive progress" made with manufacturer Research In Motion, the regulator said on Tuesday.
The telecom watchdog is continuing to work with local service providers on BlackBerry-related requirements, the Communications and Information Telecommunications Commission (CITC) said in a statement.
The regulator did not mention if it had reached an agreement with RIM to address its national security concerns.
