UMA is "so compelling and so inevitable,"
says RIM CEO

Speaking at RIM's 2008 Capital Markets Day on May 12, Jim Balsillie, co-CEO of Research in Motion (RIM), took the opportunity to acknowledge the tremendous progress UMA has made in the market.

“Wi-Fi UMA is going remarkably well," he remarked. "It’s very compelling...This is happening, and it's happening fast."

In a Q&A session later in the day, Balsillie continued to laud UMA."Some [carriers]saw it as a threat. I saw it as an enabler, an inevitability. In a sense, its  hard to find a carrier that isn’t excited about it now." And he went on: "I think it’s just so compelling and so inevitable.”

We heartily agree, Jim, and we eagerly anticipate the new UMA-enabled devices RIM continues to bring to market.
