If I remember what I was told correctly, was awhile ago...
US Government Blackberry services run through a NOC in the US, not the one in Canada. I don't know if this is for all US Gov. agencies or only specific ones.
The security part of my brain has a problem with forwarding internal email to a different country before being received by another employee of the same company/agency who sits two desks away.
Here an interesting thought for you Blackberry users [

Normally the NSA cannot spy on US Citizens[sic], so they would at times have other agencies like the CSE (Canadian equivelant) do it. So...
- Imagine if you could get most of the US Federal Government (Civilian and Military), State Government and corporations to use a service where their communications (e-mail etc. in this case) actually leave the US and are processed in a differnt country. Been Done
- Imagine if the NSA had a relationship with that countries NSA equivelant (remember the CSE). They Do
- Expand this theory, how much would the NSA or CSE love having other foreign governments and corporations doing the exact same thing. Drool and been done
Still like your internal documents and email going to Canada (RIM)? [

I'll stick with managing our own server and direct communications with our devices, Microsoft got this one right.
