The Problem • 2008 Tata Teleservices delay deployment • Encrypted on device  sent encrypted • U.A.E. started talks, fired up India • National security  terrorism • Repeat of 2008 Mumbai attack • Prepaid use • Flirtation / Pornography • Criticism of leadership • Government wants real time access

  4. Impact on the People 1 million Blackberry users in India India has second largest mobile phone market Government could access user’s private information

  5. Government Requirements • Real time access • Protect national security • Pressure to comply: • Nokia set up by November 5th • Google and Skype to follow • Canadian Government offer RIM assistance in negotiations. • North American already has access via warrants.

  6. Resolution • 60 days for security agencies to try and gain access, run by ISP. • RIM offered to find a balance between security and privacy • DECLINED, Oct. 31 deadline extended 3 months • RIM introduced manual access to messenger service • Automatic to come • Interception server to be installed • Through Indian ISP • Easier to gain access to ISP than RIM

  7. Personal Position Indian government should have access when needed Should have a server ran through ISP + for taking security concerns serious

  8. Alternative Positions RIM does not comply, Indian government should not have real time access to RIM data. RIM products will not be available in India.Only allow those that choose to comply fully.

  9. Objections/Risks RIM built the device. Security threat for RIM to release encoding information. Internet Service Providers will be held responsible for the data. Government will have complete access. Will cost RIM money.

  10. Conclusion India is concerned about national security. RIM does not want India to access it’s servers. RIM will continue to work with India. RIM will set up a interception server within an Indian ISP. India will have real time access to data through ISP. India will be able to see data coming in and out of country through RIM, Nokia, eventually Google, and Skype.
