According to the reports, the Indian Government is going to ask many online services and telecom operators to ensure that the data going through their networks be made available to security agencies. The Department of Telecom (DoT) will soon call representatives of RIM (Blackberry), Gmail and Skype – and order them to “open” their data for security agencies, failing which may result into a ban.
Moreover, the Indian government is going to introduce a law that would make it compulsory for the foreign companies to provide complete access to their data transfer or set up a local server here.
Many online services allow users to opt for highly encrypted data transfer. Gmail.com offers completely encrypted services to all users. This has worried the security and intelligence departments, as such services are difficult to be tracked and can be misused against the country.
