Has the Pentagon finally come to its senses?
Device numbers are said to grow up to 300,000+ devices. Hopefully they will order more BB10 devices over the others, seeing how BB10 is the only OS that has the "Athority to Operate" ATO.

They are talking about BB10 Devices. They are the ones that are ATO approved. That's 80,000 BBRY devices. 98% are BB10 phones.

It was... Months ago.

And, that 300,000 figure represents the scaling capability that the infrastructure must be capable of handling IIRC. It isn't a commitment to buy 300k devices.
