India Plans to Ban BlackBerry, Gmail & Skype

The Indian government has demanded from Research in Motion, Google and Skype to hand in data in a readable format for the security and intelligence agencies in India. The department of telecom has given the three companies a deadline of 15 days to do the necessary stuff.

If they do not take the necessary measures there is a chance that their services will be banned in India according to Business Line. Security agencies also stated that they didn’t have the means to monitor the services offered by Tata teleservices and reliance Communications. In August 2008 the Indian government has banned also some Blackberry services until they were able to monitor them.
