E-Mail Govt insists on access to BlackBerry corporate emails
Our Bureau New Delhi, Jan. 31 The Home Ministry on Monday said that it will insist that BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion (RIM) give a solution that will enable security agencies to intercept corporate email services. “Just like they gave us a solution to intercept Messenger service, we will insist they give us a solution for enterprise service too,” the Home Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, told reporters The statement from the Home Minister will put more pressure on the Canadian company, which has maintained that it does not have a technical solution for intercepting Blackberry Enterprise Services. In October, RIM had told the Home Ministry that it will provide technical solution by January 31. Since then the company has provided a solution that enables security agencies to snoop into voice calls, BlackBerry Messenger services, chat services and SMS. But access to corporate email services has become the bone of contention between RIM and the Home Ministry. Even as the January 31 deadline expires today, RIM insists that it has fulfilled its commitment. “World over, security agencies would want access to everything but if only it was possible we would have given that solution. There is no possibility of us providing any kind of a solution to intercept BlackBerry Enterprise Service,” Mr Robert Crow, Vice-President, Industry, Government and University Relations, RIM, had said last week. Even as RIM expressed confidence that none of its services will be banned, Mr Chidambaram said on Monday that a decision on BlackBerry corporate email services will be taken soon.
