Subscriber Numbers newday1
I think that subscriber numbers are still as important. I say this because the larger the number the more likely app developers will develop for BB10. The numbers also indicate size of base where service revenue can be generated. I agree with you that the definition of subscriber base is changing because before a subscriber always ment that revenue was being collected from each subscriber, which is not the case anymore.

I believe all BB10 phones that are not accessing the BES will be BIS since BIS is needed for BBM and maybe email. I think there will not be as large of a demand on the BIS servers in the future as more users migrate from legacy BB's since BB10's since BB10'S do not use data compression. Any comments are welcome.
