Blackberry services to be discontinued in India?

The part in bold is partially true, the IB has always required a warrant to tap landline phones, its only recently that the tech that allows tapping cell phones which has outstripped the provisions of the law. So they don't tap a particular cellphone per se but scan a whole list of numbers and this gives the govt instant deniability to a tapping charge. The loophole is that the laws need to be updated in lieu of this increased tech capability.

The part about the IB not having oversight is correct however. The CBI here was not created by any statutes but by an Executive Order in '68 and is presently accountable to nobody.

You might find the following two debates interesting :)

Is the government guilty of phone tapping?

Do we need tough law to regulate phone tapping?

Blackberry said that only through judiciary we will follow and that with a court order.(this is how it should be done and is done in USA),you need probable cause to tap someones phone and not mere reasonable suspicion.
Not exactly as the above two debates revealed.

freedom cannot be traded.these are unalienable rights which was there before govts existed and given by god.

only via court order via a judge phone tapping should be done if probable cause exist and not mere suspicion.
If its any consolation senior members of the opposition are more worried that they will be tapped rather than their concern over you & me so maybe they will agitate for more protections.

The other point is the govt does not have a monopoly over tapping, anybody can tap anyone else providing they have the equipment including foreign intelligence and there seems to be no restriction or legal way to prevent it currently :)

So slowly calls for more restrictions are coming, lets see where it leads..

Quote:
On July 16 this year, the director general of foreign trade, a division of the Union ministry of commerce, issued a public notification putting off-the-air GSM monitoring devices on the restricted import list. These were the machines first imported by the NTRO and used to illegally tap phones of several key political leaders, including Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar.

they can tap phone via fiat and this has to be stopped.this is the only way out.
enact right against unreasonable search and seizure and privacy as a fundamental right.
This all came to a head when outlook published its cover article back in May this year.

I have a GPRS enabled Post Paid BSNL SIM. Can I use it to get 3G like speed.Presently I am using the GPRS facility but the speed is very poor. I think there is very poor signal quality in Central Kolkata (Yogayog Bhawan Area)
Kindly reply.

MTNL Broadband 2 MBPS Unlimited @ 599/month

Posted: 01 Sep 2010 11:18 PM PDT

4 times fold in one go is not possible in case of mtnl, they can double the speed but will not increase 4 time for all users. Just think if 512kbps guys get 2mbps then 1mbps will be getting 4mbps, can mtnl's line support 4mbps?Nooooo.

India Australia Test Series

Posted: 01 Sep 2010 11:13 PM PDT

So once again its time for cricket action in India with Test matches against Australia starting in October. All are aware Dish TV subscribers, India's No 1 DTH, wont miss one day matches (thanks to DD). But again we are going to miss test matches because of Neo Cricket. Is there a chance of getting Neo Cricket before October? Or how long should we wait? (All other DTH operators provide Neo Cricket) :ashamed:
