Boston, September 17: Amid discussions with India on lawful interception of data sent from BlackBerry devices, the smartphone maker, Research in Motion, has said it cannot compromise the security architecture of its enterprise solution.
The company is continuing discussions with governments in India, the UAE and other countries, as well as with service providers, and “believe we have made good progress in those discussions,” RIM Co-CEO Jim Balsillie said.
“I am optimistic that a positive and constructive outcome can be achieved,” he said in a conference call with analysts yesterday.
The company had, however, stated that the security concerns were not specific to BlackBerry operations only, as there are other operators who offer similar services.
In India, BlackBerry services have over a million subscribers and virtually all leading operators, including state-owned BSNL and MTNL, offer these services to users.
