“All countries have different requirements regarding security issues. We are not concerned about whether RIM meets security requirements in other countries or not. We want it to meet our security requirements,” said an official.
RIM is currently operating services in 13 countries. The present problem with Blackberry cropped up when Tata Teleservices was not granted permission to operate the services.
While the government has pointed out that e-mails sent through Blackberry phones cannot be intercepted lawfully , it is not clear how other operators like Reliance, Airtel and Vodafone are operating their services.
