Balsillie at the Mobile World Congress, the close communications technology will be part of Rim's strategy, which will make it easy for BlackBerry smartphone users to access a variety of services, the crux of the problem is the consumption of operators ' services and the availability of extended services.

System-provided payments for BlackBerry applications can help mobile operators increase revenue and are also convenient for end users.
