Due to pressure from Motorola’s investor, Carl Icahn, the motorola handset business may be restructured. This is because of the loss in business on the hand-sets and its struggle to maintian its marketshare. According to last year’s figures, the company has incurred about 42% loss on stocks and the sale on the hand-set units lost about $388 million in the last quarter of the year.

Unfortunately Motorola has been loosing its market shares against Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. In the business race, Samsung took over Motorola’s second position last year, and now Sony Ericsson is overtaking Motorola’s third position this year.

According to Greg Brown, President and Chief Executive at Motorola, “We are exploring ways in which our mobile devices business can accelerate its recovery and retain and attract talent while enabling our shareholders to realize the value of this great franchise.”

Apart from manufacturing hand-set units, Motorola also manufactures wireless network equipment, set-box top and modems. Sale on the wireless network grew to about 35% last quarter of the year, while revenue on modem and the set-box top grew to about 35%.
