The NY Times article (U.S. Tries to Make It Easier to Wiretap the Internet, Sept 27, 2010) states:
"Essentially, [US] officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications — including encrypted e-mail transmitters like BlackBerry, social networking Web sites like Facebook and software that allows direct “peer to peer” messaging like Skype — to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order. The mandate would include being able to intercept and unscramble encrypted messages".
A Different NY Times article ("Critics Say India’s Spy Plan Deters Businesses") states that critics are unhappy with India's policy requiring greater access to encrypted info:
"Critics, though, say India’s campaign to monitor data transmission within its borders will hurt another important national goal: attracting global businesses and becoming a hub for technology innovation.
The most inflammatory part of the effort has been India’s threat to block encrypted BlackBerry services widely used by corporations unless phone companies provide access to the data in a readable format. But Indian officials have also said they will seek greater access to encrypted data sent over popular Internet services like Gmail, Skype and virtual private networks that enable users to bypass traditional telephone links or log in remotely to corporate computer systems."
I can't see the difference between what the US is planning to do and what India is trying to do ... so wouldn't businesses be affected in both countries?
