BlackBerry Finally Sets Up Server In Mumbai

India TV News  

New Delhi, Feb 20: After much controversy, BlackBerry has finally set up its server in Mumbai following intense pressure from the government to provide a mechanism for lawful interception of its messenger services and Nokia has been asked to follow suit. The government and BlackBerry manufacturers were in a logjam over its services in India as security agencies had raised a red flag over its operations citing non availability of method to intercept its messenger service and enterprise mail. The government had said the onus of giving access to security agencies to monitor the information on these smart phones lies with the service providers. According to the licensing conditions, the service providers are liable to put in a mechanism to allow security agencies to intercept any conversation or message of any subscriber whenever required. As telecom service providers like Airtel, Vodafone, RCom, the Tatas and the government—run BSNL and MTNL are offering BlackBerry services, it is the responsibility of these operators to ensure that the security agencies get access to all services they offer.
