To all - (this may already have been posted) (I have stopped reading this thread closely, ever since people started getting SOT (seriously off topic)) August 23, 1998 Siemens, Motorola May Join Forces A.P. INDEXES: TOP STORIES \| NEWS \| SPORTS \| BUSINESS \| TECHNOLOGY \| ENTERTAINMENT Filed at 6:22 p.m. EDT By The Associated Press BONN, Germany (AP) -- German electronics company Siemens wants to join forces in mobile telephone production with U.S. rival Motorola, a newspaper said Sunday. Meanwhile, Sony Corp. is considering giving up its cooperation with Siemens in mobile phone development, another report said. Siemens couldn't be reached for comment. The company announced major plans to improve profitability in April. The newspaper Welt am Sonntag said Siemens is losing money in mobile phone production and that bringing its two factories into a joint venture with Motorola's six would cut development costs and raise sales. Currently, Siemens provides design and technology for Sony mobile phones for the European market, Der Spiegel magazine said. Now, with its own research and development center nearing completion in Germany and a factory in France, Sony thinks it can stand on its own feet, the magazine said.
