Government Affairs

Companies exist within societies and economies. The best companies work to benefit those societies and economies in everything they do. Likewise, governments at all levels work toward those same goals. Because of that synergy, Motorola works with governments around the globe to counsel, advocate and partner for a better world.

Public policies and legislative frameworks influence how people use technology and how innovators operate within various nations and jurisdictions. As a leading innovator in communications equipment and services, Motorola brings great expertise in one of the most profound changes in human relationships reshaping the globe. In a world of change, governmental acts have direct and potentially unintended consequences. We work to make sure governments understand the complete ramifications of policy and legislative moves as the world globalizes and the twin forces of connectivity and mobility shape lifestyles, businesses and governments themselves. Motorola brings insights gleaned from many sources, whether they spring from our own research labs or our work with other jurisdictions around the globe. We advocate for our business and for the role of communications in the world of the present and the future. We work both independently and through industry associations.

In these pages, we detail some of our specific positions on issues facing governments, societies and businesses around the globe. Where we know of specific legislation proposed or considered, we offer particular insights as appropriate.
