The scariest thing is that he thinks this is a good thing.

My first thoughts:

Spoiler

The continual qualification, e.g. "A Public Cloud, no a Public Applications Cloud, actually a Secure Public Applications Cloud..."Followed shortly by "Big Brother QNX is watching."

ok, we have lots of devices generating exabites of data. But that doesn't mean that
1) the data has to leave the device (people take 100x more photos with digital cameras than they did with film, but they throw out even more than that. You don't care about the everyday measurements, you care about the spikes and abnormalities), or

2) that the data has to be hosted by blackberry (it's becoming more and more common to have home servers built into things. I'd be fine with my car logging onto my wifi network and logging data to my computer, so I know when to have preventive maintenance done)

Also:
3) the commercialization of customer data has moved beyond Facebook (and other free services) to services that people ostensibly pay for (maybe, I have no clue what they were pulling data from. I assume lots of phones)
