Phillip Huang and Maynard Um, analysts at UBS believe that BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion could be acquired by enterprise telecom giant Cisco “at the right valuation.” Specialties in enterprise markets, video calling, and social networking are just a few of the places the two could potentially mesh well together.
