India is set to decide whether to ban BlackBerry instant messenger or accept Research In Motion Ltd.’s limited monitoring of the service, three officials with direct knowledge of the matter said.
The home ministry and intelligence agencies will meet today to review the proposals offered by RIM in the past week, the officials said, declining to be identified in line with government policy. RIM said on Aug. 26 any solution will need to ensure its clients’ communications are secure, a selling point that’s helped it attract users including President Barack Obama.
