India suggests solution on the Blackberry Controversy

The Indian government though tough in its decision has conveyed Black berry Group to install server in India so as to keep track on their messenger and enterprise mail service.

The Indian government has clearly rejected the RIM’s (Research In Motion) plan of allowing the messenger and Enterprise Email services using the Canada based server which was made by the company in the wake of the immediate call by the Indian government to shut down its services in India until it did not provide a better solution on India’s security concerns put on stake through its service.

Earlier RIM had come up with a solution that the information to the security agencies would be provided on a deferred basis but the government agencies rejected this solution and demanded to have real time information rather than the deferred ones.

RIM had provided an option to the security agencies and officials of the Home Ministry that they could hand over details of BlackBerry phones needed to be monitored and it also agreed to decrypt all the Blackberry Messenger and Blackberry Enterprise mail Service which was demanded by the security office.

However, the proposal was rejected as the security agencies said that providing phone numbers of suspicious calls for surveillance would expose the source to an outside company and that would prove detrimental for the country’s security.

The Home Ministry has announced its firm decision to the Telecom Ministry that in no case security concerns of the country should be put at stake and without any solution until 31^st August, the Blackberry special services are supposed to be shut down in the country.
