The fight over the controversy of banning BlackBerry services in India is officially over because it will not be banned. A recent press release from India’s Ministry of Home Affairs on Friday confirmed the statement, saying that discussions with RIM had led to an interim agreement under which BlackBerry Messenger services could continue. This agreement provides the Indian government with access to the lawful interception of data over the BlackBerry network, according to the ministry. Also, RIM has promised India that it would offer a final solution by January 31, to give the government continued access. It is now reported that the Government of India’s attention will now focus on Skype and Gmail services also in a similar manner.
