BlackBerry finally sets up server in Mumbai
After most controversy, BlackBerry has eventually set up its server in Mumbai following heated vigour from the supervision to yield a resource for officialinterception of its follower services and Nokia has been asked to follow suit.
During a high-level assembly at the Union Home Ministry recently, officials of the confidence agencies were sensitive that Canada-based Research in Motion has installed the servers in Mumbai.
The servers have been inspected by a team of officers and permission for direct linkage for lawful interception was expected to be issued shortly, a presentation made at the meeting held in the
office of the Home Secretary said.
About the Nokia Push Mail, the Department of Telecom also prescribed a similar
policy as in the case adopted by the BlackBerry, the presentation said.
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.
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.
