BlackBerry Blackout Could Be Costly

Grace Wong writes on CNN/Money:

BlackBerry maker Research in Motion faces a possible shutdown of its sales and service, an outcome that could paralyze U.S. businesses and cost them dearly.

Research in Motion was dealt a setback Monday after the Supreme Court turned down a request to review a major patent infringement ruling against it.

RIM now faces a possible injunction that could result in service disruptions to its more than 4 million users. Hundreds of millions of messages are sent everyday from the wireless device, which plays a key role in the communication backbone of nearly every business and government sector in the United States.
