RIM says it's a no-go but the Indian government insisted. A stalemate or resolution with BlackBerry being banned in India?
From crackberry.com:
Yesterday, RIM and Indian officials met to discuss the governments' security concerns that email sent via a BlackBerry device can't be traced or intercepted. From all of the news reports I've read thus far, it looks like there is no news of a resolution. But I'm not surprised. RIM appears to be standing firm on their stance that no 'master key' is available to decrypt messages sent from a BlackBerry device. It appears as though this is an unacceptable answer for the Indian government, and my guess is the 'pressure machine' has been turned on to see if they can squeeze out a resolution somehow. The Indian government is extremely scared of attacks from militants and terrorists, and they see the BlackBerry as a potential security risk that they need to monitor. While they're at it, why don't they monitor all incoming and outgoing phone calls as well? Or perhaps talking is the problem. Maybe the government should tape everyone's mouth shut so that it would be harder to communicate? Oh, wait... then they could just use the BlackBerry to communicate their ideas. This is getting silly.
