Research in Motion (RIM), the Canadian maker of the BlackBerry device, is reportedly close to a deal with UAE telecom operators to allow it to offer internet-based voice and video services for the first time in the Gulf state. The launch of RIM's VoIP service would provide the company with an advantage over rival handset providers who are still unable to provide such services.
