I'm sure this action by the Feds is just their way of letting the judge know that whatever remedy he prescribes, it should not include putting RIM out of business completely.
On a related note, maybe this is why when I installed the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software and 12 devices for a customer last month, Cingular gave us the $4000 software from BlackBerry for free.
I'm weirded out that the US Fed Gov is totally reliant on a product from a company owned and run by furriners!
