reliability of its technology, Motorola has consistently provided a broad range
of services and technical support, and its products offer the interoperability
with other VoIP solutions that we

offerings in the VoIP space, Motorola is quickly becoming the global technology
supplier of choice for operators with aggressive upgrade plans,” said

their subscribers to realize maximum value from the broadband connections and to
attract new subscribers with an increasingly valuable portfolio of advanced
services. We are proud to partner with TBC as it works to further establish
itself as a leading provider of value-added broadband services to subscribers in
Taiwan.”
