New Delhi, Oct 12 (PTI) The government has extended till December 31 the deadline given to Research in Motion (RIM), maker of BlackBerry phones, to provide access to its messenger and enterprise services to the security agencies.
The decision has been taken by the Home Ministry after a meeting with representatives of RIM and the Ministry of Telecommunication.
Technical discussions on the BlackBerry Messenger Service (BMS) and BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) have been going on between the security agencies and the RIM. The latter has sought more time as the October 31 deadline given to the company was approaching.
"We are satisfied with the solution provided for the lawful interception of BMS. We want to test it for some more time while discussions on BES are still on, hence RIM has been given a fresh deadline," an official said.
