    Default Former Apple CEO Sculley tells BlackBerry to ditch hardware

    Tech companies probably aren’t clamoring for the advice of former Apple CEO John Sculley, but that isn’t stopping him from freely dishing it out. In an interview with Bloomberg, Sculley says that BlackBerry can still be a successful company but only if it stops building the hardware that has long been one of its staple businesses.

    Sounds to me like this is a niche that is perfect for BB

    Secure calls and messaging

    They certainly own the infrastructure to pull it off and I know there are A LOT of people who would pay for it!

    I would be happy to pay 150+ a month for truly secure communication and I am sure several hundred thousands of other if not millions world wide would as well

    Now would the US and other Governments allow them to operate?

    I doubt it
