In the wake of a threat to national security, India’s Intelligence Bureau (IB) has reportedly called on the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology to block all Internet telephony services in and out of the country until the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is able to track such calls, according to an Economic Times report. According to IB, compared to foreign countries where every call can be tapped, India does not have the mechanism to track Internet telephony calls. (source: technologyreview.in)
