India may stop short of BlackBerry ban over security
The Indian government is continuing in its demand that Research
In Motion make it legally possible for the government to intercept and monitor
emails on the BlackBerry service offered by Indian service providers, but it
is not likely to use a ban of the service as a bargaining counter.
India's Telecom Secretary Siddartha Behura said Friday in Delhi that the government
is keen to resolve the issue as soon as possible, but there is no question of
banning the Blackberry services.
The issue has delayed the granting of government permission to Tata
Teleservices, an Indian mobile services provider, to offer BlackBerry services.
Other mobile service providers already offering the BlackBerry service have
also been issued notices by the government to allow it to intercept emails by
March 31.
The country's Information Technology Act of 2000 allows the government under
certain circumstances to intercept and monitor email.
RIM has not commented on the government demand for easier access to BlackBerry
email. RIM operates in more than 130 countries around the world and respects
the regulatory requirements of governments, the company said in a statement
earlier this week. RIM does not comment on confidential regulatory matters or
speculation on such matters in any given country, it added.
