India has toughened its scrutiny of telecoms firms with a directive demanding "access to everything".
An Indian Home Ministry official told the BBC that "any company with a telecoms network should be accessible".
"It could be Google or Skype, but anyone operating in India will have to provide data," he said.
The move follows high-profile talks with Blackberry maker Research in Motion about ways to allow Indian security forces to monitor data.

It's not just India .... the list of Government interference and security monitoring seems endless. But it's not always for democratic and good purpose. That's my biggest concern.
