RIM, the owners of the Blackberry, have finally settled with NTP and Blackberry users across the US can sigh a huge sigh of relief as their Blackberries won't get switched off after all.
RIM have had to shell out over $600M to settle and own a perpetual licence for the NTP technology - but can focus back on the business rather than managing media and investor uproar at the thought of the possible Blackberry shutdown.
And RIM have a great deal to do to keep Microsoft, Nokia and others at bay in the fast growing mobile email market. With the NTP issue behind them they need to move at grease lightning speeds or face a far greater challenge to their future.
Ultimately, you just can't help agreeing with the judge and wondering why it took RIM so long to settle. It calls in to question RIM's management and reputation. Now they need to rebuild it.
