What is the fuss about Blackberry Security ?
Why are the Government officials unhappy with the services of Blackberry?
I think its more of political agenda to make other push email services to come in play, than the access to secure code, by which the terrorist and similar actions can be tracked.
It can also mean tapping the lines of opposition members to know the next moves in the chess board politics in India.
In reality , does it mean that for every https or SSL transaction, encrypted emails - government officials can snoop in ? Let me ask the same question other way round in a humble way, does it mean that every transaction on the net using 256/ 512 Kb encryption via digital certificate and all other mobile phones or online internet , are these accessible to security agencies and they can monitor the content ?
If this is true, then you can expect all your account info available on the streets for Rs 100/- per CD.
Now, the company which is operating for last 3-4 years in India based deployment has decided to share 'secret' with the government.
Hope that this issue gets concluded.
One closing thought, why should any Blackberry user pay for data movement between India and Canada, though it does not appear in itemised bills of customers; it's cost is being incurred by ISP.
