New Delhi: BlackBerry makers Research In Motion has given certain proposals for lawful access to its services by India’s security agencies, Home Ministry sources said.
These proposals will be operationalised immediately, they said. Sources also said the company will set up a server in India.
It was also decided that the Department of Telecommunication would study the feasibility of all such services being provided through the server in India.
The Home Ministry will review BlackBerry security issues in 60 days.
BlackBerry got the short end of the stick from the Indian government after the government imposed a deadline of August 31 to RIM and asked it to come up with a solution to share encrypted data or shut shop.
The government was worried that militants could misuse BlackBerry’s heavily encrypted services.
There are nearly 1 million BlackBerry subscribers in India and 41 million worldwide.
