Siemens Could Close Mobile Business
Siemens, which hasn't really seemed that interested in, say, actually competing in the mobile business lately, is now considering simply shutting down their mobile division if they can't find a buyer. So far, the more obvious choices to buy it have all said they're just not interested at all, and so Siemens might just give up. While rumors have been swirling for a while, simply shutting the division down would be a surprise. At some point, you would think someone would step in and make the purchase. Obviously, though, the price isn't going to be that high.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
