This is the kind of case that makes you sick to the stomach... US-PTO and in general Patents based in US should all be reviewed. Companies or people who have an "idea" need to design a working model of the "idea" they have before it should be approved.
NTP doesn't have any "real" assets, no product to replace BB, and no real "right" to destroy is valuable business tool that many businessmen/women and government officals use on a daily basis. Although I believe that the Chief Judge doesn't care about this issue because like you said, it will only effect consumers, not government users.
Unlike people who want to sue Apple over thier iPods, I think the best way to resolve this issue is not for consumer groups to sue RIM but sue NTP. NTP will shutdown a billion dollar industry not only here in the US, but globally because all people around the world that use BB would not be able to use it here....
I for one would be in favor of a class action lawsuit against NTP for potienal loss of business and back lash from customers that I have recommeded the BB for their business. I would favor a CAL against NTP to the extent that is burns them to the ground and expose thier financials to find any dirty of shady business practices.
NTP must go down. Never to surface or see the light of day again.
Thank you,
