Research In Motion, maker of the popular BlackBerry smartphone, has averted yet another ban of its email and messaging service, according to news reports Monday.

The Indian government said it will not shut down the service for at least another 60 days as it evaluates proposals RIM has offered that would allow the government to monitor wireless subscribers’ communications.

Indian officials said earlier this month that the company had until the end of August to come up with a solution that would allow them to monitor emails and other electronic messages from BlackBerry users in the country.

One of the latest proposals likely includes RIM placing one of its servers in India.
