And BB's "new" scheme is different from the various solutions already out there how?

It's just new to them.... Everbridge seems to be the one to beat in this market now.

BlackBerry seems to expect too much revenue - overpricing products, and due to the limited cash flow they restrict R&D that allows their software solutions to fall behind. Too much focus on keeping phone going, and then one building MDM, and then focus was on IVY and it's integration. Now they have refocused on Automotive it seems. Athoc went from being a leader....

In other words, "too little, too late" or "BB has lost its way (again)". I know there are some BB shareholder diehards who will point to Apple's "reserrection" from it's near-death experience as a basis for optimism for BB's resurgence in its new space. However, but those assessments are really based on an apples to oranges comparison (pun intended) of what BB offers, what the real market is, and what it can get for its pricing (as opposed to what it would like to charge). And don't get me started on BB's "vast IP treasure-trove". Based on my 20+ years in that business, I can tell you that most patents (at least in the technology space) degrade in value pretty rapidly over time. Moreover, many of BB's earlier patents are now facing their respective termination dates for patent protection. Thus, I don't buy the company's assessment that the sale of its patent portfolio will generate huge proceeds - quite the contrary. BB's objective of cashing in big time on the portfolio sale at an inflated price is probably why no one has done a deal yet with BB for them .

As I opined in an earlier thread and post, given its shrinking yoy sales, BB at best currently is ripe for daytrading, and seems to be headed for the pink sheets overall.
