New Delhi, Aug. 11: The home ministry is expected to direct the department of telecommunications and service providers to stop certain features on Blackberry which can’t be accessed by security agencies.
Home officials will meet those from the DoT, Airtel, Vodafone, RCom, the Tatas and BSNL and MTNL that offer Blackberry on Thursday.
Official sources said the onus of giving access to security agencies to monitor the information on their networks lies with the service providers.
“We will tell the service providers that the government will allow them to offer only those services which could be intercepted by the security agencies. If any service cannot be intercepted, we will not allow them to run such services in India,” sources said.
