WOW! Wondering if there was a governmental clause to keep a certain percentage of jobs after the acquisition for a particular part of time. |

Set-Top Boxes is a conflict of business, its handled by the former parent Motorola company, the business unit, not the former motorola mobility purchased by Google. this includes modems.
