RIM May Not Be Shut Down in the US

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - November 16, 2005


According to The Globe and Mail it is highly unlikely that Blackberry users in the US will experience a shut down of service because of the ongoing NTP litigation.

On Monday, the presiding judge granted the U.S. government's request to present arguments and evidence against an injunction. The government had filed a submission to court saying it does not want anything to jeopardize a vital communications link for federal workers.

It appears that many federal government workers use Blackberry devices and the government is claiming that a shut down of service would adversely affect them.

"There are more than two million BlackBerry wireless subscribers in the U.S. and about 10 per cent of them are government employees. Increasingly, analysts believe a wholesale service shutdown is highly unlikely."
