Nokia Siemens To Buy Motorola Unit For $1.2B

Posted by Soulskill on from the chew-before-you-swallow dept.

sylverboss writes with news that Nokia Siemens is buying Motorola's wireless networks division for $1.2 billion. "The deal gives Nokia — the world's leading supplier of mobile handsets — an invigorated entrance to the US market where it has lagged far behind other handset suppliers." According to BusinessWeek, "Motorola’s sale of the wireless-network unit prepares it for a broader restructuring. The company is planning to spin off its mobile-phone and set-top box operations into a company that will be led by co-Chief Executive Officer Sanjay Jha. The spinoff is on schedule for the first quarter, Jha said last month."

    Faggots must be banned from the United States. They carry diseases and are a drain on civilization for their mere pleasures. They have no morals nor any sense of compassion for their fellow human or they'd give up their shit eating ways.

    GET THEM THE FUCK OUT!
