Why the NSA Doesn’t Want You to Have a BlackBerry
Renegade:
I'd love it if they could get it together and stop operating from the "How Not To Handle Disruptive Competition" playbook. I certainly have a lot of respect for their engineers. I still probably wouldn't buy a BlackBerry but more serious competition (2 players is not enough) is better for everyone in the long run. The problem is they keep blaming everything but themselves for their market failures. All the engineering in the world can't fix that.

What I'd LOVE to see is a decoupling (or detripling as the case may be) of the hardware manufacturer + software manufacturer + carrier marriage/bigamy.
But the anti-competitiveness goes much, much deeper than just that.
