A series of meetings between security agencies, Department of Telecom, National Technical Research Organisation and service providers have failed to come up with any solution to block the unregistered VoIP, who operate from outside the boundaries of the country, sources privy to the developments said.
Recently militants, who wanted to trigger an explosion in Jammu and Kashmir, have said that they were receiving information from across the border through VoIP, which went undetected.
Sources in the government said that service providers, especially running Internet services, in Jammu and Kashmir were called to the Union Home Ministry recently and given a months time to find out ways to intercept and find the end user of the VoIP based on the Internet Protocol address.
Central security agencies have expressed concern over the lack of real time monitoring of communication exchanges taking place over the internet and that telecom operators were not providing them the real time data of these conversations which is a security risk, they said. MORE
