RIM: India will decide on the 30th of August

We’ve heard quite a bit on RIMs issues with the Indian government – it now looks like the issue will come to an end soon.

mobile-review reports the following:

…

The manufacturer of the popular Blackberry series of handsets has been given until 31st August to comply with demands from the Indian government to allow their security agencies access to Blackberry Messenger and the ability to read emails sent using Blackberries. Reuters are reporting that a source close to the negotiations between the two is saying that the Indian government will make its final decision on 30th August, one day before the deadline.

Given past history, I am pretty sure that RIM will comply with the demands of the Indian government. Either way, stay tuned for further info as we get it…
