Blackberry Gives India Access To Servers

Posted by timothy on from the good-thing-we-can-trust-governments dept.

Meshach writes "As happened earlier in Saudi Arabia Blackberry has reached a deal that allows Indian authorities access to the transmissions of hand held devices. Much of the fear comes from worries about terrorists: Pakistani-based militants used mobile and satellite phones in the 2008 attacks that killed 166 people in Mumbai."

    I'ts generally accepted that most of the 1st world countries actually don't need that. USA, Russia, Israel, China, etc, all have the means to decrypt those communications in real time and that's why they never needed to demand access from RIM.
