RIM will not provide corporate email access in India

Research In Motion, the maker of BlackBerry handsets, recently announced that there is no chance of providing India access to corporate emails on BlackBerry devices.

“There is no possibility of us providing any kind of a solution,” RIM vice president Robert Crow told reporters. “There is no solution, there are no keys to be handed.”

From in.finance.yahoo.com:

RIM has been buffeted by demands for access to its encrypted data from several countries worried about security and social mores.

Earlier this month, RIM said it would filter pornographic internet content for BlackBerry users in Indonesia, following government pressure to restrict access to porn sites or face its browsing service being shut down.

Last year, the company narrowly escaped a ban in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Neither side disclosed what RIM did to get itself onside with UAE telecom regulations.

RIM encrypts email messages as they travel between a BlackBerry device and a computer known as BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES).

The company has said it does not have a master key to decode emails, adding that each organisation would have the technical capability to grant access to its own encrypted enterprise email.

The Canadian company earlier this month gave India access to its Messenger service.

India had demanded access to all services of BlackBerry as part of its efforts to fight militancy, Internet and telephone communication security threats.
