I like current leadership okay, but he still has to play his cards well, doesn't he?
Interestingly, Lazlo Birinyi, the astute investor, who took a position in Apple at the bottom, is taking a position not in BBRY.

The thing that would most likely cause a bidding war is that there are so few independent SIP developers left. Google bought three of them, and Microsoft one. Check here for other deals:

Nearly all of CPAH's partners might be a buyer including some smaller players because they have connections to big money. Metaswitch and Sequoia, Genband and Oak Partners. Cisco has partnered with CPAH for so long I think they take them for granted. Oracle is always on the hunt for more revenues and profits, and if they are truly going into the telephony world, they couldn't do better than CounterPath.
Terry Matthews has done some 80 deals, including one big one - Newbridge Networks to Alcatel at $7 billion ($1 billion for himself). He can only get his money out of CounterPath in a deal, so I think one will come eventually, not because he needs to get his money out, but because he has cobbled together a very attractive property that I think one of CPAH's partners will want to nail down.

Are we entitled as observers to use his own lingo: "That was the stupidest thing you ever did..." ?
Here's what I think would make the most sense: Lenovo or Huawei buys the manufacturing arm, and Microsoft buys the operating system. The Chinese could bulk up their handset numbers, and Microsoft could bulk up their operating system exposure.
If Microsoft bought the whole shebang, then they are a handset maker like Google. And currently, they are assuredly benefiting from paranoia on the part of handset makers, who are making a Windows 8 phone just in case.
