Saudi Arabia 'threatens Skype ban'
http://j.mp/16TWb2V (BBC)
"Encrypted messaging services such as Skype, Viber and WhatsApp could
be blocked in Saudi Arabia, the telecommunications regulator there is
reported to have warned. It is demanding a means to monitor such
applications, but Saudis say that would seriously inhibit their
communications. Saudi newspapers are reporting that the companies
behind the applications have been given a week to respond."
