RIM does not, or has not been asked, to do this in any other country but is considering the matter.

The case, meanwhile, has opened a Pandora’s box in India. Operators note that if BlackBerry services are banned, security agencies could even target various e-commerce applications – especially money transfers – that use encryption.
