1)"it will work with the department, the Canadian embassy and the security agencies of both countries regarding the international lawful process of access to data, sources familiar with the developments said"
2) What you are trying to create is a police state, you want to monitor every mail which emanates out of a server which is not in India. With that logic, all email services should be closed down".
These two arguments have no logic.
In first case. The assurance of monitoring the server, content and e-mail from Canada (servers are in Canada and its used by the users across the world!)is not practical. Black Berry guys can just fool our DoT guys. Already there are spy programs and monitoring systems in internet by different agencies! Unless otherwise there is an exclusive server for Indian services (Indian security people should have access to them)the monitoring is not going to happened effectively! Black Berry may have to rethink about the network and technology for India!
The second point is absolute foolishness! The money minded operators have no concern about the security! How many of them are following the correct guidelines of government in giving new connection? Whether they are seriously checking the identity of the person? Terrorism is a major concern! India is still not having effective online monitoring of web data and communication!
