...week Newstour across China, from westernmost Kashgar to Beijing, by Time Warner executives, board members and journalists. We had to remember that this fledgling show of democracy is permitted only at the village level and is, so far, more symbolic than substantive. Government and party officials wearing Motorola beepers wandered the fringe of the crowd, much like the ward leaders at the elections in Louisiana I covered as a cub reporter...
...device is the Psion 5mx ($549, list) and runs on a clever 32-bit operating system called Epoc, which has legions of devotees, just like Palm's OS. Epoc, you should know, was developed by a consortium called Symbian (which includes Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola), and is being positioned as the standard for next-generation cell phones--a distinct possibility since those manufacturers produce 80% of the world's mobile phones. That's probably why Microsoft referred to Psion as its "No. 1 global threat" in an internal memo last year...
Iridium is falling to earth. The global satellite-telephone network that was supposed to let even jungle-trekking CEOs keep in touch has been bleeding money and racking up disappointments since its launch last fall.

A day after Motorola, which owns an 18 percent stake, said that the company might have to declare bankruptcy unless its partners chip in more money, Lockheed Martin announced Thursday it wouldn?t be upping its 1 percent investment any time soon. Iridium will miss its next interest payment to bondholders, and its bankers have given...
Waste Management may specialize in garbage, but it isn't the only outfit accused of playing dirty. Far from it. Just last week, Motorola sued Intel for allegedly hiring away key employees to obtain its microchip trade secrets. Minneapolis-based agribusiness giant Cargill recently acknowledged that a rogue employee may have lifted proprietary genetic material from a competitor, an admission that effectively killed a $650 million deal to sell its North American seed division to a German biotech venture...
Last month Motorola and Cisco Systems said they would jointly ante up $1 billion over four years to create wireless, high-speed Internet networks. AT&T and others are experimenting with cellular-like services that compress data and bring high-speed Web access into homes. That could help some rural areas. But while wireless towers can easily cover vast stretches of the plains, it's a far costlier matter to erect enough towers to throw signals around the Rocky Mountains. Moreover, many of the companies that are talking up wireless have densely packed urban businesses and mobile professionals in their...
