RIM says BlackBerry service is back to normal

BlackBerry maker Research in Motion says service to the devices is back to normal after four days of outages. “You should know we are taking immediate and aggressive steps to prevent this from happening again,” co-CEO Mike Lazaridis said in a rare public appearance since the embattled company’s services went down on Monday. “We’re committed to restoring the trust of our loyal BlackBerry customers that we’ve worked hard to earn over the years.” RIM has about 70 million BlackBerry subscribers and this week’s technical problems affected millions around the world.
