With all of the concerns recently expressed by Middle Eastern nations about the Blackberry and it's use by spies and terrorists, India has added Google and Skype to the discussions by asking the companies to set up servers in India and allow access to web data, citing fears that the voip services could be misused by militants. Though Google has said it has not been contacted.
"India’s Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said RIM had begun giving India access to its secure data from Wednesday.
“Discussions for technical solutions for further access are continuing and the matter will be reviewed within 60 days,” Chidambaram said in a statement."
A Google spokeswoman based in India said: “We have not received any communication on this issue from the government. If and when we do, we will review and respond.”
According to The Globe and Mail.
