Just after BlackBerry users (and RIM) heaved a sigh of relief after the Indian government's decision to give RIM a two-month period to set up servers in India, it has turned its attention to Google and Skype. Both have been asked to set up their servers in the country so that access to data from them would be easier.
According to
The Times of India, the government is planning to send notices intimating the same to Google and Skype soon.
This move is being taken to check if people with anti Indian interests are using these services to plan attacks against the country. Apart from Google and Skype, the government also has VPN (Virtual Private Networks) in its radar that are usually set up by corporates to provide secure access to their company networks even when they are away from office.
It remains to be seen how Google and Skype respond to this directive of the government. Do you think it is fair on the government's part to spoof on what you are doing online?
