What if the Blackberry network is shut down?

[diggertwo]

Where does all of the news about Research in Motion being sued, and the possibility of the network being shut down, leave NetJets? They rely heavily on their blackberrys and might have a little trouble getting their information if it is turned off. Do any of the others use them?

We will just fire up the chain saw, and go back to the fax. Not an issue if you ask me.

I guess we at NetJets call in at 7pm and find out what we are doing the next day....no sweat off my back...

Flops uses blackberrys also, but arent these just "cell phones" and there are other phones that send data.?

FLOPS has a data feature on the BB

ALL of our data is sent via BB. But so what...we'll just go back to faxes and generally a lack of communiction.

does netjets issue blackberrys?

Yes they do. I just got my new 7290 last week - its a nice toy and a very handy way to communicate with the company and anyone else I feel like. I hope they don't shut the network down I like playing with this thing.

I flew a whole tour only talking to the company a few times. Everything i need to do can be done via bb. Send in times, mel's everything. It's great.

That's funny, lack of communication. We have had that from day one, with ot with out BB's. Now they just use them to send you threating e-mails and changes to the SOP's that do not work in the companies favor.

Blackberries suck. I can't understand why they ever became popular. Palms and Pocket PCs blow them away.
