We’re trying something new on the blog. Starting this quarter I will be posting shipment numbers for the Motorola Home and Networks Mobility business on a regular basis. I’ve done it in a haphazard way before, but this blog will now be the home for these quarterly updates. Over time, you will be able to view all quarterly shipment reports by selecting the “Quarterly Shipment Numbers” category. There is a lot of detail provided so hopefully these reports will be helpful to a broad audience. However, I should note that Motorola does not break down the numbers in any more detail, so my ability to answer questions about these quarterly posts in the comments section is limited. You know, public company and all that. Thanks for understanding.
