re: Light Reading Poll: Who Will Take Motorola Home?
Says something about what people think of Huawei's chances when a burger chain has the early edge on them. But it does pave the way for Moto's new D3 modem, if it goes for the Puma6 and a 24-channel-bonded downstream: The Broadband Whopper. JB

It would be totally ironic if the Home group was picked up by Calient and then just desserts being as they are decimate the organization for what MOT did to their Next Level alumni.

re: Light Reading Poll: Who Will Take Motorola Home?
Since I have some inside experience with the team I know that any group led by Ed Breen would come to the table with a plan that would work, if that materializes then you can expect success. Huawei would be blocked by the Feds, Comcast has enough money to buy Motorola's cable side but they still kind of act like a kid with his first credit card and frankly they have a problem keeping a tight, coheseive business strategy in place. And whatever happens with the D3 modem, the profit margins on modems are so thin that this won't make much of a difference for long. In the end this is about reading Google's mind and guessing whether they want to be in the cable business or not. ON one hand they said that they would run MMI as an independant unit, but then they dumped the Dan Moloney/Geoff Roman team and replaced them with some kids from Charter who don't have half the talent of the legacy team in Horsham. I can't wait to see what happens next..
