NEW DELHI: As it talks tough with Research in Motion (RIM) — the makers of BlackBerry — to provide access to the encrypted data flowing through its network, the government is contemplating measures to ban Internet Service Providers (ISPs) like Google, Skype and Yahoo if they don’t up their servers in India and give access to intelligence agencies.

Recently, agencies had problems retrieving data from servers of some of these ISPs located abroad while tracking mails of terror suspects and, in some cases, of those involved in money laundering.

Designated agencies such as Intelligence Bureau, National Technical Research Organization (NTRO) or Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) monitor mails of suspects on a routine basis. However , they are hamstrung when such mails are deleted from the mailbox of a suspect. Such messages can only be retrieved through imaging at the mother server.

ISP servers have images of all deleted mails for a certain period. Even if you delete mail from your mailbox, such messages can be retrieved from the server through imaging. India now wants all ISPs to set up at least one server each in the country

At present, such requests are routed to the ISP providers and get mired in a layer of diplomatic channels. By the time such requests are executed , it is too late for even the imaging to recover such data
