RIM Sees No Ban On India BlackBerry Services

BlackBerry maker Research in Motion is confident there will be no ban in India on its services, a senior RIM executive said.

“There is no ban on BlackBerry, we are confident that there will be no ban in the future,” Robert Crow, a Vice President at RIM, told reporters in New Delhi.

India has threatened to shut off RIM’s encrypted email and instant messaging services unless it gains access to them, in a campaign driven by fears that unmonitored communication puts the country’s security at risk.

“We are here for the long run,” Crow said.
