India gave Research In Motion Ltd. time until Aug. 31 to resolve the government’s concerns over some of BlackBerry services, a home ministry official said.
India is among the growing list of nations to scrutinize BlackBerry services because of concern the devices may be used by terrorists to plan attacks and other illegal activities as encryption doesn’t allow intelligence agencies to tap the mail traffic. Security threats in India include fighting insurgencies from Kashmir in the north to Assam in the east.
