A list of countries considering BlackBerry bans over security concerns with data routed abroad:

* India: The country of almost 1.2 billion people had threatened to block corporate e-mail and messaging services unless BlackBerry makes data more easily available to its intelligence and law enforcement agencies. The deadline had been Tuesday, but the government is giving BlackBerry a 60-day reprieve.

* Indonesia: The Southeast Asian country wants a server in its country because it fears that e-mails could be intercepted as they pass through RIM's servers overseas.

* Lebanon: The country says it is reviewing whether BlackBerry service raises any security concerns for it.

* Saudi Arabia: The kingdom's telecom regulator had ordered a halt to BlackBerry service across the kingdom.

* United Arab Emirates: The Persian Gulf state plans to shut down e-mail, messaging and Web browsing on BlackBerrys starting in October.
