Battle Over RIM

Well I guess the legal turmoil between Research In Motion Ltd., (RIM) and NTP Inc., took another turn toward a possible shut down of the extremely popular Blackberry service when the U.S. Supreme Court refused to intervene in the on-going technology dispute. There are over 4 million Blackberry users that could be affected by such a shut down and I am one of them. Apparently neither company will discuss a settlement. A spokesman for RIM said that the company has a work-around design that is “ready and will be implemented if necessary.” What do you think? Will the company’s settle? What will happen to the wireless world if Blackberry is shut down?
