RE:Joff Wild comments on BlackBerry Cisco dealI see it as being the tip of the iceberg.
Other large tech companies that compete with Cisco will be now looking at Blackberry's patents and wanting to license them as well. Otherwise, Cisco will have a leg up on them since they have access and others do not.
This could also be a prelude to a Cisco-Blackberry partnership in the IoT space later on down the road as well. It certainly gives Blackberry (and it's shareholders) confidence that the 45,000 patents Blackberry has are worth a lot of money.
