e-mail by thumb not 'critical'

research in motion's attempt to assign itself a 'too big too fail' designation failed. the concept of 'too big to fail' involves government intervention for a company or industry that proves critical and/or pivotal to the economy, like chrysler and/or banking.

patent-embattled research in motion advanced such an argument for its infringing blackberry...
it didn't work... basically because as the uk register chimes in "Heck, they'd have to talk to their clients then..."

cnet's news.com comes up with a solid 'what if'/contingency scenario if a blackberry injunction goes into effect

(full disclosure: i have shorted this stock in the past for tidy sums of money)
