Its the arrogance of Motorola and the ego of the managers that kept them investing in I*, they always believed that because they are so big they can solve any problems, even using the wrong technology. EGO is the reason they pushed forward and ignored CDMA. MOT follows the "NIH" rule. If its "not invented here" its no good. This attitude is what helped bring the end to Digital Equip., now part of Compaq. DEC introduced the Rainbow PC to market using their own operating system. They reasoned that because they were the biggest and best in mini's that the public would buy their PC even though it wasn't IBM compatable. Well, DEC learned what MOT will soon learn. cdaiseyPhD@market-history-harvard.edu
