Indian access to BIS is nothing new. They've been doing that since at least 2011. This is BlackBerry Internet Service, where the mail infrastructure is partially controlled by RIM. As far as I understand the BlackBerry Infrastructure, RIM can't give access to BES (Enterprise) Servers.
Even if you're not part of an enterprise, you can run a BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express at home or in a datacenter. With your own encryption keys protecting communication between the phone and your server. In order to grant access to the government, RIM would have to steal your key. Possible, but unlikely. Security is one of the few reasons why RIM still ships phones.
