Motorola In the Middle: Big Success or Failure Could Hurt Google - Top Tech News
It's official. Google has closed on its $12.5 billion acquisition of Motorola Mobility. But what does this mean for the merged company? There are still more questions than answers.
In a Tuesday morning blog post, Google CEO Larry Page opined about how the phones in our pockets have become supercomputers that are changing the way we live. He pointed out how it's now possible to do things we used to think were magic -- or only possible on Star Trek. Things like getting directions on the spot, watching a video on YouTube or taking a picture and sharing it instantly with friends all over the world.
"Motorola is a great American tech company that has driven the mobile 
revolution, with a track record of over 80 years of innovation, including the creation of the first cell phone," Page wrote. "We all remember Motorola's StarTAC, which at the time seemed tiny and showed the real potential of these devices. And as a company who made a big, early bet on Android , Motorola has become an incredibly valuable partner to Google."
Motorola Gets New CEO
Although Page didn't offer much insight on what Google will do with Motorola, he did announce that Sanjay Jha, who was responsible for building the company and placing that big bet on Android, has stepped down as CEO. Long-time Googler Dennis Woodside has taken the reins.
After extolling Woodside's virtues in the blog he turned his attention back to technology, indicating that Motorola would still make mobile phones, saying: "It's a well-known fact that people tend to overestimate the impact technology will have in the short term, but underestimate its significance in the longer term.
"Many users coming online today may never use a desktop machine , and the impact of that transition will be profound -- as will the ability to just tap and pay with your phone. That's why it's a great time to be in the mobile business, and why I'm confident Dennis and the team at Motorola will be creating the next generation of mobile devices that will improve lives for years to come."
Motorola's Ultimate Fate
We caught up with Avi Greengart, an analyst at Current Analysis, to get his take on what happens next with Google and Motorola. He told us he's watching to see if Google uses Motorola just for its copyrights and patents or runs it as a genuine business -- and, if the latter becomes the reality, whether or not Motorola can succeed as an independent business.

Telecom industry divided: AUSPI says refarm all spectrum - Economic Times
Most industry players including Airtel and Vodafone have opposed telcom regulator TRAI's recommendation that spectrum held by incumbent operators in the 900 MHz band be re-farmed or redistributed amongst all operators through auctions, when mobile licences of these firms come up for renewal in 2014.
"Even though we are benefeciary of 800 Mhz band, we fully support refarming proposed by TRAI. Simultaneously, we request and demand that TRAI recommendation on refarming of 900 Mhz should be accepted by government as soon as possible," AUSPI President Madhav Joshi told reporters.
The statement by Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India (AUSPI), whose members include Reliance Communications and Tata Teleservices, comes a day before meeting of inter-ministerial decision making body, Telecom Commission to discuss TRAI suggestions on spectrum auction.
"Our association has done lot of work right from 2007 at our own expenses for trials in 1900 Mhz band but because of pressure of GSM lobby those trials were ignored by government," Joshi said.
Trai had suggested that the spectrum available with incumbents in the 900-MHz band, considered the most efficient for 2G operations in the GSM space, be replaced by spectrum in the 1,800-MHz band, which should be charged at market price.
While 1800 Mhz and 900 Mhz bands are used to deliver second generation telecom services using GSM technology, 800 Mhz band is used for CDMA technology.
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has recommended spectrum refarming of 800 Mhz and 900 Mhz band to 1900 Mhz and 1800 Mhz band.
If this recommendation is approved then old GSM telecom operators, which include leading players namely Airtel, Vodafone, Idea Cellular, will have to use high frequencies of 1800 Mhz band and CDMA players will have to use 1900 Mhz band for transmitting signals for mobile services.
GSM telecom companies have been opposing this move as using high frequency will band reduce coverage area and they will have to invest in putting up additional infrastructure.
Telecom companies Vodafone and Idea Cellular have indicated that refarming will cost them Rs 10,000 crore and Rs 17,000 crore, respectively.
