BlackBerry denies India e-mail access deal



The Canadian company slammed as “false and technologically infeasible” a report in an Indian newspaper, which said that RIM would allow the Indian government have access to all messages and e-mails sent by its 400,000 BlackBerry customers in the country. An internal Home Ministry memo, apparently seen by the paper, suggested that RIM would automatically make readable all BlackBerry communications, including encrypted enterprise e-mails.

RIM said only an account holder had the necessary key to decrypt the messages. But it confirmed that security authorities and mobile operators would be granted “lawful access” to the popular BlackBerry Messenger chats.

The company is battling to resolve a three-year dispute in the region, with countries including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and India demanding access to BlackBerry communications, citing threats to national security. RIM has until January to placate India's fears or risk being pushed out of the country.

The region's mobile security fears were heightened by reports that the Mumbai terrorists used secure BlackBerrys to plot their attacks.

India is an important market for RIM. Informa Telecoms & Media forecast that more than 600,000 BlackBerrys will have been sold there this year, and that India's smartphone market will grow rapidly from 12 million to 49 million by the end of 2015.
