Germany Goes Black.

The Federal Republic of Germany (1) approved Canadian Blackberry's acquisition of German phone security firm Secusmart. (2) signed a contract with B-berry to provide phones to the government. (3) made the contract legally binding on B-berry not to turn over data to any other government and (4) got access to the source codes for the B-berry operating system as part of the contract.

Well done! Good deal for Germany, good deal for embattled RIM.

All of this of course fallout from American spying.
