Thread- Has anyone noticed this is a five year anniversary of Motorola(sym:MOT) stock price going nowhere? siliconinvestor.com

You wonder how a company positioned in mobile wireless access, communication semiconductors, and now cable broadband, could possibly have performed so incredibly poorly. One would almost have thought they failed to execute on purpose. Was George Fisher that much of a savoir? After leaving MOT in what I thought was a hero role, he didn't do much for Kodak. Wondering if they are calling for Chris Galvin's head lately(1999 salary $16.3 million)? Seems like he would make a much nicer target for the media than Mike Armstrong.

I would think their purchase of GI(leader in the MSO equipment world) puts them in a pretty good position today. Hence my current interest in them. Anyway, just while scanning over some investment ideas, I thought I would point out this significant failure to execute by MOT.

I take it discussing their Iridum disaster would be like beating a dead horse. Does anyone have any general thoughts about it's positioning for the future? Particularly in mobile wireless broadband access?

Just a quick scan back, I guess I should be asking what's happening with GPRS? Seems this may be crucial to MOT doing well in mobile wireless access world.
