Too long a wait.
The judge made the call not to wait for the PTA because of the time it would take. Even after the PTO issues the final decisions and invalidates all the patents, NTP can appeal those decisions in court and drawn the case out for years, leaving this case hanging. In the meantime, RIM would be put in finacial straights, due to the fact that nobody wants to buy a device that could get shut off tomorrow. RIM would still be forced to implement the fix anyways, making the threat of the injunction null, or shutter the business because the balance sheet goes red.
