However, I do completely agree that a shutdown won't happen. I think the judge will impose the injunction and give RIM 90 days to implement it. During those 90 days, he will not allow RIM to sell in the US, but will keep the network up. During those 90 days, RIM and NTP will settle. The 'workaround' is another animal entirely. The fact that the workaround is bound to involve some kind of architecture changes, will it invalidate the FIPS certification for government use? I would doubt that RIM would take that chance, but what affect implementing the work around would have.

In my opinion, the reason why this bad press is spinning out of control is because RIM hasn't fully addressed these 3 questions: 1. Some people don't believe RIM has a technical work-around (because no details have been released). 2. People are unclear as to when an injunction could be actually be implemented, so they are acting like it's going to be next week. 3. People are unclear as to exactly what RIM operations might be shut down if an injunction is implemented. (i.e. Would SMS still work?) I entirely agree with your position on this topic, and I like your perspective.
