No BAn on Blackberry Service: Govt. ruled out the ban

The government had referred the controversial issue of BlackBerry mobile phones to the Telecom Commission to decide whether operators can continue offering this service.

Security agencies had said that they should have access to data that are being encrypted by services like BlackBerry on mobile phones and then decrypted when the phone reaches its destination. The government had cited security concerns as it could not monitor the content on RIM's servers, which were located in Canada and other foreign locations.
