Letter: Motorola madness?

Published 17 March 2001

From Oliver Snow

It strikes me that Motorola, or any other manufacturer aiming to use technology
that disables devices operating in the “wrong” country, has lost the plot
(24 February, p 18).

In this increasingly mobile world, many people like myself move between
regions and continents as part of our careers. Are we supposed to re-equip the
whole household every time we are posted to a different location? Come off
it!
