They are literally minting money on the TV business. The biggest cable operator COMCAST is their biggest customer. Upstart in Video Verizon is a growing customer. The cash generated in the TV business is compelling enough to buy the split business. Well, their TV side of the business is rock solid. They are literally minting money on the TV business.

MOT lacks leadership and especially inovation.

Splitting may improve things, but betting on success now is like playing lottery.

(Kind of like betting on Palm’s recovery, only even worse, for we know at least a few very creative people are still with Palm.)

The profitable MOT unit will likely gain once the split happens; I can’t make a good point on whether it’s good to buy know because of that, but I certainly expect them to raise.

The mobile phones unit better be left as is until we see what will it decide to do with itself.

Without significant a change in attitude and creativity that half may as well end up being bought by an Asian brand in a few years.
