With documentation of $30 per year BBM Protected price plans starting to emerge, it's worth discussing what effect this might have on the company's earnings and stock price. As it stands right now, BBM Protected requires a BlackBerry device. That will change in the fall when it becomes available for Android and iOS through Secure Work Space but for now, let's just stick with the possible BlackBerry only numbers.

I'm all for giving the consumers things but what would you use BBM Protected for?

[Minhaaj Rehman]

Are you serious or you just wanted to type something? Why do people use bbm protection?

I'm being 100% serious.
Why would you, an average consumer need it. I'm not insulting you or anything I just want to know.

What kind of argument is it? How is your conversation with your wife not a private conversation? Would you like it to be seen by everyone?

If 4 million of the 85 million subscribe and assuming a 80% margin, BlackBerry makes a 100 million a year! It's huge.

JC's goal is for BBM alone to generate 100 million a year. And then grow from there.

Things like this get him there. My company has 1700 BlackBerry devices. At 30 that is approx 50K a year. Not that much. Of course this is assuming the company goes for it.

Soon you will hear about BBM Meeting which will also be monetized!

It isn't an argument...
I'm looking for enlightenment. If I was having a conversation with my wife, no one would be hacking there way in to see what's for dinner tonight, Or if the bills were payed. Bbm protected won't stop someone with your phone from reading it. That seems like the biggest threat for the average Joe.

Maybe it's because I don't have a wife I don't see the importance
