Sure they wrote it down to nothing like all the other investors, but the equity stake would still be there. In a way by covering Clearwire, you continue to cover Moto by proxy and that may just be the best way to do so.

Huawei is the most interesting and most dangerous. I’ve seen them is action. They may now have more engineers at IETF than Cisco. The dont need to buy Nortel ..every Nortel employee probably has a standing resume in place with Huawei. Look at where they are placing their North Americian Offices.

As for Qualcomm ..the most detested name in mobile. Just ask the operators ..Why is VZ and Sprint so gang ho on LTE? Just to get out from under the dreaded Qualcomm tax on CDMA.

At that time they were little known and COLT were firmly Cisco/Nortel partners.

I like that company but because of the sheer size we went with Huawei. ZTE is in the coverage area for us.

If you had to name two vendors that are of growing importance in North America it’s ZTE and Huawei — in that order. Personally I’ve been more impressed with ZTE to date, but both are extremely capable well organized companies.
