Phase one is to create a PDS that securely hosts data in Canada, away from political persecution of 2SLGBTQIA+.

Phase two and beyond will include our own AppView and improved moderation tools.

These networks will exist side by side with bluesky and allow interaction per usual. Source

Yeah. RIM (the company behind BlackBerry, before they just rebranded to "BlackBerry") was Canada's most lucrative company right up until the release of the iPhone. They focused entirely on the enterprise market and didn't think there was as much demand for consumer smartphones. Shame they didn't see the writing on the wall until it was too late to pivot.
