India soon ready to spy on BBM users

Details of the "spying" plan |
India is worried about recent terrorism that took place in Mumbai which was coordinated by text messages in a timeframe too quick for police to intervene. If the plans that those plain text messages described couldn't be stopped, there is no guarantee that intercepting BBM messages will do much good. The government is expected to receive a list from mobile carriers in the country of the 5,000 BES servers in India. The carriers will also tap BBM messages and share them with the government when requested to do so
The next stop for the Department of Telecommunications is Nokia's push email system which is similar to the BlackBerry process. Indian officials have no fear of communications made over iOS or Android models because they use standard security and can be more easily intercepted.

Wow! Seems like bureaucratic red tape at its finest. This has been going on since 2010?!! Rim seems to take its' own privacy over national security.

By the time Indian government have access to it, RIM the sinking ship would have cease to exist.

Indian govt. may have some catching up to do - iMessage traffic is encrypted at the device before being sent, if memory serves. Apple may have a trapdoor to enable decryption of iMessage traffic, but where time is of the essence, contacting Cupertino may not be practical.
