Capacity crunch, isn't that a breakfast cereal? RIM's Mike Lazaridis (http://www.engadget.com/tag/mikelazaridis) seems to have been a real grouch at MWC this week (http://www.engadget.com/mwc-2010) as apparently he hasn't stopped talking about the doom and gloom awaiting mobile carriers over the next few years. Focusing on the bandwidth-hungry North American market, Lazaridis has criticized the apparently irresponsible network saturation growth, which he sees as being primarily driven by app-centric (http://www.engadget.com/tag/iphoneos) operating systems (http://www.engadget.com/tag/android). If you're wondering who he could possibly be referring to, let Mike clarify it -- according to him, you could carry five BlackBerry (http://www.engadget.com/tag/blackberry) devices for each iPhone on a network. As evidence of his firm's focus on efficiency, he points us to that freshly demoed WebKit browser (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/), which he claims uses a third of the bandwidth required by the competition from Apple and Google. If only he wasn't implying that owning a BlackBerry would save the internet, Mike's sales pitch would be rather compelling -- those are mighty impressive numbers he is citing.RIM CEO claims we are staring 'down the barrel of a capacity crunch,' should all get BlackBerrys to prevent it (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/rim-ceo-claims-we-are-staring-down-the-barrel-of-a-capacity-cru/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Wed, 17 Feb 2010 03:50:00 EST.
