Before this, Motorola has already shown clearly, will probably break or sell the mobile phone department not good of the recent developments. If this rumor is true, Motorola and Nortel Networks will amalgamate business of wireless network equipment, thus it is about a co-partnership company of 10 billion dollars to set up a annual sales amount.
In recent years, the wireless operators of U.S.A. and other countries obtained more bargaining capital in equipment purchase through integration, thus has brought the greater negative effect to wireless device manufacturer. In order to deal with this trend, telecommunication equipment manufacturers seek the trade one after another too, and amalgamate and strengthen one's own capability through cooperation. At present, this market has already been monopolized by a few several manufacturers, including Ericsson, Alcatel – Lucent, and Nokia Siemens.
However, in order to wait for the communication skill of future generation to popularize, American and European operator have cut down the expenditure in network equipment. Meanwhile, Chinese manufacturer initiated the powerful challenge to the traditional giant through the advantage of the low price. Influenced by this, the pressure that communicating device trade faces is larger and larger. For example Alcatel – the intersection of Lucent and will it be fourth quarter 2007 the intersection of net deficiency and 3,700 million, cancel 2006 from some assets which Lucent purchased mainly.
Through establishing a co-partnership company, Motorola and Nortel Networks can cut down sales amount and marketing, and research and develop the expenditure, and obtained and fought for the required scale of staging contract of the network with other companies.

Brown has been attempting to lead the Motorola cell-phone department to rise from the valley bottom all the time, this is a department of Motorola's maximum, it accounts for about half the proportions in annual sales amount of 36 billion dollars of its. In the course of recombinating the plan, he faces the American billionaire, radical investor Karl in his bank (CarlIcahn) The enormous pressure brought, the latter has been advocating breaking Motorola all the time, and nominated new directors recently.
The business of the network equipment of Motorola is under the jurisdiction of family and network and move the department, this company has not offered the operation achievement of this business. But the analyst expects, the annual sales amount of the business of the network equipment of Motorola slightly exceeds 5 billion dollars. If Motorola and Nortel Networks establish the co-partnership company, while break the mobile phone department, company's scale will shrink by a wide margin, the body business will turn into the wireless devices of a double-channel, the hand-held device, and wired television equipment,etc..
