WASHINGTON (Reuters) WASHINGTON (Reuters) - International organized crime groups control "significant positions" in global energy and strategic materials and are expanding holdings in the U.S. materials sector, the U.S. Justice Department said on Wednesday.
A strategy on fighting organized crime released by the department also says such groups manipulate securities exchanges and conduct financial fraud to steal billions of dollars. It says they systematically corrupt public officials, use computer networks to target victims, and provide logistical support to terrorists and foreign intelligence services.
"The activities of transnational and national organized criminal enterprises are increasing in scope and magnitude as these groups continue to strengthen their networking with each other to expand their operations," said FBI Deputy Director John S. Pistole
Business Line New Blackberry connections may take some more time Thomas K. Thomas Thursday, 24 April , 2008, 10:23
New Delhi: The Department of Telecom may ask existing mobile operators to stop giving new Blackberry connections until the security concerns are addressed fully.
DoT has also told the new operators, who want to launch Blackberry services, to hold on to their plans till Research In Motion complies with the Government’s monitoring requirement.

Senior DoT sources said that existing operators who have already launched Blackberry services may be allowed to provide service to existing users, keeping in mind the interest of consumers.
They, however, added that the Government may impose a penalty on these operators for violating the licence norms.
“The licence clearly states that operators will have to provide monitoring facility to security agencies. There is not a single telecom service in the country that is allowed without meeting this criterion.
Security concerns will have to be met by RIM before Blackberry service can be permitted. If operators are offering any service contrary to this, then they are violating the licence norms and necessary action may be taken,” said a Government source.
DoT has already refused permission to Tata Teleservices for launching Blackberry services.
Tatas have, meanwhile, told DoT that it is unfair to ban only the new players who want to offer the services.
Interim solution
One of the stakeholders indicated that DoT may be working towards an interim solution whereby operators may be asked to keep data of all the traffic routed through the Blackberry devices until RIM sets up a server in the country.
The controversy had broken out after security agencies expressed concern that they were unable to track communication on Blackberry due to the high encryption code.
As per Indian regulations companies have to submit a decryption key with Government agencies if the encryption code is higher than 40 bit.
Blackberry has much higher encryption which makes it difficult for security agencies to break into the network in case they want to trace any transmission. So far RIM, the promoter of Blackberry, has refused to give the decryption codes.

Talks on with RIM
DoT sources said that discussions are on with RIM to find a solution to the problem without compromising on both security issues and consumer interest. A final decision on the future course of action will be taken only after RIM comes back with its plan for addressing the security concerns over decryption.

No to Blackberry; Govt tells Tatas
Press Trust of India / New Delhi April 23, 2008
The government has asked Tata Teleservices not to offer Blackberry services unless the required monitoring system being insisted for by security agencies are put in place.
“Keeping in view of the security implication involved, the licensee (company) is directed not to connect or provide or run the Blackberry e-mail and mobile messenger services unless the required monitoring system to the satisfaction of the security agencies are in place and the master key and algorithm are deposited with the licensor," DoT said in a letter to Tatas.
Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) limited had sought permission for launching Blackberry services, saying other leading operators have been offering services without meeting the above mentioned security clauses.
"...Non-compliance of instructions by any other operator in breach of terms and conditions of the licence cannot be a valid ground for according permission to offer Blackberry services," DoT said.
DoT and the Ministry of Home Affairs have been battling with the Blackberry licensor Research-in-Motion (RIM) also mobile service providers like Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Reliance Communications to put in place a system to intercept data sent using Blackberry technology.

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.”

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.
For more news, analysis click here>> | For more Science and Medicine news click here >>
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.

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.

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.

“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.
