"We're doing our part to leverage and create opportunities - both for India and for Motorola. Without question, wireless communications fuels commercial activity across economic strata. And across technologies and price tiers, Motorola is expanding its presence in India. From our higher-end 'must haves' such as the new Motorola L6 candy bar and our best-selling RAZR clamshell, to our hugely popular C115, Motorola is helping connect the unconnected. This creates new and exciting opportunities - and the potential for many new firsts - for India's consumers."
