    India puts a ban on certain Blackberry services

    The Indian government has now directed the telecom companies in the market to block certain services provided to the users of Blackberry devices.

    This ban would remain in place till the service providers put up the requisite monitoring systems in place.

    The government had earlier raised its objection to the RIM Blackberry services as they said that some of the services could not be monitored and hence were a security concern.

    Indian government representative Jyotiraditya Scindia said in a statement: “Instructions have been issued to all mobile service providers, inter alia, asking them not to connect or provide/run certain BlackBerry services unless the required monitoring systems are in place.”

    Cellular Operators Association of India Director General T.V. Ramachandran responded on this directive: “We will abide by whatever the government requires. We have no issue.”

    INDIA CYBER LAW: Any communication service must be hosted Domestic only (inside India only) , if not shut out is the action by the Cyber law in INDIA

    What is "RIMM" service and Business Model?

    In Violation of Indian Cyber law...The Mobile operators warned to shut the service and provide solution to Department of Telecom now.

    What will China and other Nations demand next?

    Which enterpise will like to use Push email from RIMM once they know that "RIMM" Management has secretly given access to all email records and stored for them for 6 months? Do any Enterprise in any country want other Nations to have access to read their emails?

    USE YOUR BRAIN, IF YOU HAVE ONE TO DECIDE

    ((RIMM Buisness Model is Bust))

    AMEN

    The Indian BlackBerry Ban Back On… At Least Temporarily
    The Home Ministry of India has asked telecom operators to halt certain BlackBerry services until an approved monitoring system that will allow the government to intercept and decrypt messages sent between BlackBerry devices and the secure network they run on is put into place.

    The department of telecommunications (DoT) and Research in Motion have been going back and forth with proposed solutions to India’s security concerns for the past several weeks without coming to a general consensus and thus, the government has issued temporary ban on all PIN messaging, BIS email, and BES email.

    Sources say that RIM has asked that the be given until the end of the month to address the security concerns. BlackBerry service is still working right now, however, the heat is on for RIM. India represents way too big an opportunity for RIM not to come up with an acceptable solution.

    RIMM MANAGEMENT FAILED TO WARN INVESTORS ON THIS MAJOR NEGATIVE TO ITS BUSINESS MODEL:

    INDIA BANS BLACKBERRY TO BLACKBERRY PUSH EAMIL/SMS SERVICE

    RIMM MANAGEMENT =BUNCH OF CROOKS

    Government asks operators to restrict 'certain' BlackBerry services

    Wednesday, 16 April , 2008, 18:56

    New Delhi: The Home Ministry has asked telecom operators not to offer “certain” BlackBerry services until a proper monitoring system is put in place, said Minister of State for Home Affairs Sriprakash Jaiswal.


    “The government has issued instructions to all mobile service providers, inter alia asking them not to connect or provide/run certain BlackBerry services unless the required monitoring systems are in place,” Jaiswal said, even as he highlighted that it has not imposed restrictions on the use of BlackBerry. The Minister was answering a query in the Lok Sabha.

    By “certain" services the government meant that the four service providers currently offering BlackBerry services in India - Airtel, Vodafone, BPL and Reliance Communications - should temporarily stop the services between one BlackBerry to another. This is because calls and e-mails exchanged within BlackBerry handsets cannot be intercepted as the servers are based in Canada.

    India has asked Research in Motion (RIM), the licensor of BlackBerry, which has over 12 million users globally, to route all its calls and e-mails through servers based in India to allow security agencies to read them as it fears its usage by terrorist outfits.

    RIM officials are believed to have sought time till the end of the month to explain their position and address the issues voiced by the government.

    India has also warned of “strict action” if RIM fails to come out with a viable solution to such a serious issue, telecom ministry sources said.

    BlackBerry services were introduced in India in October 2004. The services came under the government's scanner last year when an application by Tata Teleservices to launch a similar service was rejected over security concerns.

    YO ALL ARE WARNED:

    RIMM Management is bunch of biggest crooks . China pump & dump scam continued for 18 months but no BBB was sold in CHINA till Feb29, 2008

    ASK these crooks to disclose Sub numbers by Country

    Now INDIA is ready to shut them down and these Crooks keep Investors in the dark

    THIS SCAM IS GOING BUST........

    ALL NATIONS RISE................TO ELIMINATE BB PARASITES...

    NEW DELHI & KOLKATA: The department of telecom (DoT) has put commercial arrangements between Canada’s Research In Motion (RIM) and providers of the BlackBerry service in India such as Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Essar, BPL and Reliance Communications under the scanner.

    ET has learnt that the DoT and national security/intelligence agencies are examining why service providers who partner RIM here only have a ‘routing arrangement’ and not a ‘hosting arrangement’ as required under Indian law.

    A routing agreement allows communications between BlackBerry owners in India to be hosted on servers outside, but under a hosting agreement, the same data must reside on servers belonging to Indian BlackBerry service providers like Vodafone and Airtel.

    Top sources told ET that the DoT decided to examine the commercial agreements between telcos and RIM after Thursday’s meeting between representatives from Indian telcos, RIM executives, security agencies, and department officials.

    The DoT wants to examine if the new telecom guidelines unveiled last year has been incorporated into these agreements. Under Indian regulations, which are in force since last year, “the control of remote access, i.e., activation, transfer of data, termination etc., shall be within the country and not at a remote location, abroad.”

    Business pacts of mobile cos, RIM under DoT lens
    NEW DELHI & KOLKATA: The department of telecom (DoT) has put commercial arrangements between Canada’s Research In Motion (RIM) and providers of the BlackBerry service in India such as Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Essar, BPL and Reliance Communications under the scanner.

    ET has learnt that the DoT and national security/intelligence agencies are examining why service providers who partner RIM here only have a ‘routing arrangement’ and not a ‘hosting arrangement’ as required under Indian law.

    A routing agreement allows communications between BlackBerry owners in India to be hosted on servers outside, but under a hosting agreement, the same data must reside on servers belonging to Indian BlackBerry service providers like Vodafone and Airtel.

    Top sources told ET that the DoT decided to examine the commercial agreements between telcos and RIM after Thursday’s meeting between representatives from Indian telcos, RIM executives, security agencies, and department officials.

    The DoT wants to examine if the new telecom guidelines unveiled last year has been incorporated into these agreements. Under Indian regulations, which are in force since last year, “the control of remote access, i.e., activation, transfer of data, termination etc., shall be within the country and not at a remote location, abroad.”

    Also, ‘the government agency should be given all support to record the transactions for online monitoring’. Additionally, DoT has also pointed out that Indian regulations clearly state that ‘suitable technical device should be made available at Indian end to the designated security agency/licensor for monitoring purposes’, government sources said.

    “If the commercial agreements do not adhere to these provisions, they are in violation of Indian rules,” government sources added. During Thursday’s meet, RIM executives said that they did not offer encryption keys to any governments worldwide. They also added that they did not have any specific solutions as demanded by Indian intelligence agencies.

    The DoT, in its response said that BlackBerry connections with most corporates bypassed the networks of mobile operator here. This is because, RIM has installed its servers in the offices of most companies who use its services. The data between BlackBerry users is therefore directly transferred between the servers in the corporate offices in India to servers housed in Canada. The DoT then pointed out that this was outside the Indian telecom licence guidelines.

    “The government is looking into commercial agreements between telcos and RIM to establish the fact that these are in violation of Indian licence guidelines,” top sources close to the development added. “With not much progress on the interception issues, the DoT is trying to unravel the security implications of the commercial arrangements between RIM and BlackBerry service providers in India,” added another senior government official familiar with the developments.

    During the meet, the DoT also told RIM that it was miffed that the communications between BlackBerry users in India are open to surveillance by US and Canadian enforcement agencies, while the same data is inaccessible to national security agencies.

    “The DoT is of the view that RIM’s BlackBerry service meets meet the provisions of the US CALEA (Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, 1994) regulations and therefore BlackBerry data traffic originating on Indian mobile networks can be tracked electronically by CALEA sleuths in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC),” government sources said.
    The DoT has asked that this provision enjoyed by US government be extended to Indian intelligence operators too,” they added. But Indian telcos do not share the DoT view. Executives working with Indian telcos that offer BlackBerry services here reiterated that all communications between BlackBerry users pass through their mobile network.

    “The entire email operation between BlackBerry users involves three elements, the mobile network, a push BlackBerry POP service and the mail server. All three elements come into play in any email exchange between BlackBerry users, our mobile networks are not bypassed,“ explained a senior industry official.
