This is good news for the ailing company as the move will infuse fresh funds to the system enabling them to make a comeback. But more than the phones sales going up, Blackberry will benefit from the services they render. Managing such a big secured network for the US defence department will result in heavy pay out and will put a priced penny in their pockets.
BlackBerry should make the most of this resource and try to re-gather itself for the next chapter of smartphones and maybe another jab at the tablet business. It could be too early to say, but things might just be looking up for BlackBerry.
