EARNINGS PREVIEW: US Telecoms Expect Strong Wireless Qtr
TAKING THE PULSE: The wireless business continues to hum for the U.S. telecommunications companies, but signs of competitive pressure are beginning to creep in. Wireless continues to be driven by smartphone sales and the adoption of pricier service plans, offsetting the deteriorating wireline business. AT&T remains at the forefront but eventually will lose its leadership position in wireless once Verizon Communications completes its acquisition of Alltel. Smaller companies, meanwhile, are scrambling to catch up, with prepaid wireless reseller Virgin Mobile USA acquiring niche player Helio. The landline business, meanwhile, continues to deteriorate as a result of economic pressures and alternative lines of communications. more

Motorola to Split Off Handset Business
NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Carl Icahn 1, Motorola 0.
The Schaumburg, Ill., company said Wednesday it would split off its troubled
handset business into a separate publicly traded business, relenting to demands
by the activist investor.
The move would create an independent mobile devices company, which accounted
for roughly half of Motorola's total revenue in the fourth quarter. It also
leaves standing alone a company that makes TV set-top boxes, wireless equipment,
public-safety radios and bar-code scanners. In an industry where others are
consolidating, Motorola is going the opposite route.
