Pressure on BlackBerry to provide access to mail service

With the security agencies already putting to test BlackBerry’s messenger service, its maker Research In Motion has been asked by India to provide technical solution to intercept its enterprise mailing service which provides a private virtual networking among a group of people. The security agencies were ascertaining the intercepting provisions provided by the Canadian smart phone manufacturer for intercepting BlackBerry Messenger for which a detailed report would be submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs later. The Department of Telecom and the security agencies are now looking forward for a technical solution to be provided by the smart phone maker for intercepting the BlackBerry Enterprise Service under which a private virtual network is created within the server between a group of individuals who can exchange emails without getting intercepted, they said. The DoT had asked other service providers including Google, Skype and Virtual Private Network also to work a solution of intercepting their services within the stipulated 60 days as provided to the BlackBerry makers.
