With those bandwidth implications the carriers will be a receptive lot - I think MS will have more success spreading the gospel of wireless email, RIM being focused at the enterprise level. MS too, but a lot more besides, I think. Agreed.

Up until now their competition has just been tiny startups like Seven Networks and Good Technology and Visto -- now Microsoft is rolling out a free upgrade to Exchange that does push email, and who doesn't like the sound of the word "free?" Not to mention the fact that Microsoft has the clout to swing deals with the major telecom carriers, who are RIM's major partners (but also its competitors, since they want all that juicy email traffic for themselves). I can almost hear those profit margins getting squeezed. I think RIM is in for a world of hurt.
