India's BlackBerry offensive widens to Google, Skype: Report


http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/infotech/hardware/Indias-BlackBerry-offensive-widens-to-Google-Skype-Report/articleshow/6303277.cms


NEW DELHI: India's showdown with BlackBerry could reportedly widen to encompass Google and Skype after the government threatened to cut off core features of the popular smartphone on security grounds.

Research In Motion, the BlackBerry's Canadian maker, gave no immediate indication that it would accede to the latest pressure from an emerging economy to open up its services to security agencies.

"If a technical solution is not provided by August 31, 2010, the government will review the position and take steps to block" BlackBerry email and messenger services, India's home ministry said Thursday.

New Delhi, battling insurgencies ranging from Kashmir in the northwest to the far-flung northeast, fears that heavily encrypted BlackBerry communications could be used by militants.

Islamic extremists used mobile and satellite phones to coordinate the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people.

Its a real great step by the home ministry. Our country's security is lot more important than those features. Either the google n skype take of the security issue or be banned.
