Monday was the day when RIM and the Indian government met in a meeting to decide whether its services should be continued in the country or not. It was decided that the Canadian company should set up a local server in India so that the Indian security agencies can monitor the services easily. Now, though, there is a new notion for the reason of the decision taken by India.
India is hosting the Common Wealth Game in a few months, in November. And a lot of people are expected to fly into the country during this time and a lot of US delegation is expected too. This includes the US President Obama. It is a well known fact that Obama uses a BlackBerry and all the people escorting the President are also using the same phone. The BlackBerry service these people use the most on their phones are the BlackBerry Enterprise and BlackBerry Messenger. These are two services that were to be banned from today in the country if proper solutions were not provided by the country.
It is also said that the Canadian government might have given a political pressure on this issue to get the work done for Research in Motion. This is still being an issue and a rumor. But the ban has already been taken off on the company's services and India has given the company another 2 months time to monitor whether the solution provided now are enough.
