New Delhi: To provide a concrete solution for interception of data sent using Blackberry messenger, a Jaipur-based IT company has claimed to have developed a mobile communication service for all users that will work under the orbit of Indian law. "The issue that the online usage of BlackBerry phones cannot be monitored by the government will be fully-solved with our service 'Bharat Berry', a country made compliant product designed keeping in consideration with all necessary Indian laws and works with all BlackBerry and other phones," Ajay Data, Founder and CEO, Data Infosys. The service 'Bharat Berry' was on testing mode for the past few days and the state Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot formally launched it on Friday. "The Bharat Berry service provides more advanced push mail on BlackBerry handsets and ensures that the user remains connected to email, calendar and contacts through the servers hosted in India." "It also provides over-the-air (OTA) synchronisation of calendar and contacts to outlook, so there will be no need to take backup of attach with the computer," he said, adding that the unique service was developed with months of hard work. Bharat Berry works through a mix of its very advanced email server known as XGeNPlus and open source technologies. Our servers are hosted in India; hence there is no compliance issue, he said. "Unchecked terrorist activities are the major concern of security agencies, as it can escape detection by using BlackBerry's coded services. We are providing a concrete solution to the problem that has left lakhs of BlackBerry phone users in limbo," he said. For enabling access to all services, including emails, users will be charged 100 per month, while to ensure access and synchronisation of calendar and contacts, the user will have to pay Rs 50 per month, he said.
