Peaking Over the RIM

Article

Today is the second sunrise for RIM.  We all know what happened, they caught the 'Canadian Monopoly Disease'.  Our country is dominated by huge monopolies who have their fingers into government.  Once a company reaches this level, like Nortel and SNC Lavalin, there is no stopping them, until they collapse under their own bloat.  For companies that have a steady monopoly rent that collapse never happens, like Rogers, Bell and Hydro, since they can suck on that teat forever.

Only companies that have to compete on an international level head for the abattoir.  RIM's stuff was horrible the last few years.  The common theme with all the daughter's friends is "I hate my Blackberry!", but they are stuck on 3 year contracts.  Now RIM is coming out with something three times as expensive as the Nexus 4, and I wish them luck.

 Update:  That should be 'Peeking' over the rim, as in sunrise, but I made a pun-slip and I like it.  :)
