RIM has now officially folded up like a cheap suit when it comes to its dealings with India. Sort of. According to this report, India now has access to Blackberry Messenger messages, but corporate e-mails are still off limits. When it comes to the latter, here’s what RIM said:
“… No changes can be made to the security architecture for BlackBerry Enterprise Server customers since, contrary to any rumours, the security architecture is the same around the world and RIM truly has no ability to provide its customers’ encryption keys,” the company said on Thursday.
You have to wonder if this is going to be enough to keep the Indian government happy. To me, it’s likely that the Indian government will be back asking for more. Then we’ll see if RIM will come up with some way to keep them happy, or risk being shut out of one of the largest cell phone markets in the world.
