The Canadian company, Research in Motion (RIM), manufacturer of the Blackberry smartphones, rejected the request of the Indian authorities, to allow them access the data exchanged between subscribers, reported BBC News.
India fears that the criminals and terrorist can use the Blackberry services of data protection for their aims. That’s why the Indian side requested the key for decryption.
However, representatives of Research in Motion have responded that the system of corporate e-mail protection, which the Blackberry clients use, had been originally designed to exclude the access to the personal information of the third parties, including the producer-company.
According to the BBC data, today in India's BlackBerry service, which is offered by the Bharti Airtel, Reliance Communications, Vodafone and BPL Mobile operators, are enrolled about 115 thousand people. Even so, the number is constantly growing.
