The Indian government agencies have given Research in Motion(RIM), makers of popular Blackberry services 90 more days to come up with a final solution towards providing mechanism for lawful interception.

The new deadline this effectively comes out to January 31, 2011.

The earlier deadline was October 31, 2010.

"RIM would be asked to adhere to the timeline of January 2011 to give the final solution wherein lawful access for BlackBerry messenger will not involve the overseas data path. Intelligence Bureau (IB) and National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO), which had attended the discussions, found that the solutions offered by RIM (for BlackBerry messenger) are prime-facie agreeable. The timelines of January 2011 were also agreeable," said the minutes of a meeting attended by representatives from security agencies, home ministry and the telecom department.
