Finally, the Indian Central Government has given up. RIM sternly refused to open up the services so that the Government can snoop into see if any of the corporates are trying to plan a terrorist attack.
The Indian Government is known for some of these archaic decision making which are borrowed from the license raj of the 80s. Now that they have realized it is not so dangerous after all to use an encrypted email device, the government has allowed the continuous functioning of the service. The Telecom ministry should now focus on getting the 3G licenses auctioned so that the already delayed services can be started before it is too late.
