The New York Times reports that Google is planning to lay off 20% of staff, or jobs, around 4,000, this is about a third of the 94 offices around the world. While Google has issued a Form 8-K (with the government of the United States) confirming the cuts and cierres.A Motorola is known as the pioneer in mobile telephony and marketing the first wireless device in 1983. 

 The main objective of the cuts is to return the unit to Motorola phones and cost effectiveness. The Form 8-K confirms that in addition to job cuts, is planning a review of large companies. About a third of 90% of Motorola facilities are closed, and mobile product portfolio "simplified" and focuses on smartphones.

Motorola represents 11.7% of the activity of smartphones in the United States, placing it as the fourth most widely used brand of smartphones in the country.
