BlackBerry Installed server in India – Mumbai
BlackBerry finally sets up server in Mumbai.
However, there was a climbdown by the government on intercepting mail sent through BlackBerry Enterprise Services (BES) which decrypts the messages and sends it to email server of the service provider where it remains stored in decrypted form. Then the message is pushed to the BlackBerry device in encrypted form. (More) PTI SKL ZMN 02201643 NNNN
The DoT secretary informed that currently there are about 5000 Enterprise Servers for BES. Director Intelligence Bureau Nehchal Sandhu noted that these are communications between the employees of the enterprise only and, therefore, are not of “high concern” for security or Intelligence agencies.
“However, it was decided to obtain list and location of the servers from telecom service providers,” the presentation said.
