This is ridiculous. Does the guy running office management at the Indian DMV really need to protect his emails from NSA? Sounds like someone's brother-in-law will be getting a phenomenal IT contract.
What were they doing using gmail in the first place? I thought all officials used internal goverment email services or outlook confiugred with internal goverment servers. Even small 50 person companies generally have outlooks configured.
Aside from the misleading headline, I think this is largely a symbolic move or a way to show that the government is doing something.
Headline = India no longer allowing US e-mail services in the country.
Article = India will be requiring its governmental employees to store governmental e-mails on governmental e-mail systems.
Seriously with that headline?
