Research In Motion Ltd. will give India access to its BlackBerry messenger service beginning Sept. 1 to address security concerns, two government officials said in New Delhi today. The stock fell the most in a month.
The Canadian company will first give agencies access to messenger services on a manual basis, with information provided for individual phone numbers after government requests, said the officials who declined to be named because the discussions are private. RIM will provide a more automated solution to tracking BlackBerry smartphone messages by November, the officials said.
