It may go through their infrastructure, and they may even at times host some of the service, but they do not own it. I think you should be pointing your finger towards the appropriate carriers.

It's great to know that BES is protected — of course it is, because the data is encrypted with a key that RIM doesn't own.

But what about consumer data: emails, BB messages, etc? Their carefully worded press release avoids any mention of that; and indeed news from other sources hints that maybe they are working with some governments to provide access to that data.
