RIM's saving grace is supposed to be the fee stream generated from providing BlackBerry subscribers access to its proprietary network. But as Morgan Stanley analysts point out in a recent research note, the cash generated by this business should be consumed by its money-losing devices business. More ominously, RIM said in a recent Securities and Exchange Commission filing that some of its new products, including much-anticipated BB10 devices, won't use its network to the same extent as old devices, undercutting the revenue stream.
还好,RIM向黑莓手机用户提供专用网络服务,这应该能让它获得源源不断的服务费收入。但正如摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley)分析师最近在研究报告中指出的,这块业务产生的现金应该会被RIM不断亏损的终端业务消耗。更加让人不安的是,RIM最近在提交给美国证券交易委员会(SEC)的备案文件里说,该公司的部分新产品(包括备受期待的BB10终端)不会像老款终端那样频繁地使用公司的专有网络。这会减弱RIM的收入流。
Each company has patents, though it can be difficult to determine their value. Nokia's bring in 500 million of license fees annually, which provides some comfort. And in Microsoft, Nokia at least has a rich and powerful sponsor that is invested in its success. RIM is on its own and likely to sink.
两家公司都有专利,但专利价值可能很难确定。诺基亚每年获得5亿欧元的授权费,多少让人安心。另外,至少还有微软这个钱多、权大的赞助商把自己的未来押在诺基亚的成败之上。RIM孤立无援,有可能沉入海底。
