There is a patent dispute between RIM and NTP over the technology RIM uses. Even though things don't look good right now I would be hella surprised if the RIM network actually got shutdown.

IMHO there will be a last minute settlement if it looks like the shutdown is imminent.

From what I have heard, the injunction will go through except for all emergency workers.
