In a-blog post published last week, chief operating officer Marty Beard said that the Pakistani government rescinded an order to shut down BlackBerry services following "productive discussions" between the two parties. The Pakistani government issued the shutdown order in July 2015, citing "security reasons." On November 30th, BlackBerry announced it would be-withdrawing from the country because the government demanded access to BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) emails and BBM chats, which it described as "a compromise we are not willing to make." The company was originally ordered to shutdown on November 30th, but had its deadline pushed back to December 30th.
