RIM submits plan to the government to intercept BlackBerry messenger and email services

Research In Motion (RIM) has submitted a framework to the Indian government to enable real time interception of its mail services.

It is believed that this framework is currently being tested in the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).

Prior to this, the government had set August 15, 2011, as the deadline for RIM to provide the country’s security agencies with interception keys to enable real-time tracking of its BlackBerry messenger and corporate email services in a readable format.
