Jim Balsillie Annual Quotations

We recently passed the $2 billion annual revenue and 5 million subscribers milestones and we have begun the new fiscal year with over 150 carrier partners around the world.

We are entering the second half with solid market positioning, strong momentum and an impressive line-up of new products and services.
