Today Motorola officially said that it plans to split the organization into two separate businesses by the end of the first quarter of 2011. One business will include Motorola’s mobile devices and home (cable boxes) businesses, and the other will include its enterprise mobility solutions and networks businesses. In a prepared statement, Motorola explained, "Motorola intends to effect the separation through a tax-free stock dividend of shares in the new company to Motorola shareholders. Following the separation both businesses will be well capitalized so the companies can execute their respective business plans and be able to address future opportunities. The proposed tax-free spin-off is expected to be accomplished through a pro rata distribution to Motorola shareholders." Both companies will retain the Motorola brand. The separation will be subject to regulatory terms and conditions.

Motorola is honestly more of a shell company now. Ed Zander pretty much gutted the company (especially the handset division.)
