Motorola currently shares the number one position in the Chinese phone market with Nokia, with revenues of $4.9 billion last year. In the network equipment market Motorola claims second place, with Ericsson taking the lead.
China has 166 million mobile users and is already the largest mobile telecoms market in the world. Motorola expects the number of users in China to hit 400 million within five years. It also believes that their handsets will be used to send more data messages rather than voice messages.
