Research In Motion has not agreed to turn over corporate data sent to 
and from BlackBerry devices to the Indian government, contrary to 
reports that surfaced on Wednesday, RIM said.

"RIM has once again found it necessary to address certain media reports 
in India containing inaccurate and misleading statements and information 
based on unsubstantiated claims from unnamed sources," it said in a 
statement.

The statement follows a report in Mint, an online Indian business news 
site, that was picked up widely. Citing unnamed government officials, 
the report said that RIM had agreed to provide recorded data from 
BlackBerry Enterprise Servers to the Indian government and was working 
on a way to offer live access to the data to the government.

RIM confirmed that it continues to talk with the government in India and 
said that such talks revolve around four principles that RIM follows in 
providing carriers with the capabilities necessary to allow for lawful 
access to customer data. Those include that the carriers' capabilities 
be limited strictly to the context of access governed by the country's 
law and that the carriers must also allow only the same amount of access 
to BlackBerry consumer services as to RIM's competitors.
