changing the way people are connecting and is opening doors to a new world
of opportunities," said Mohammad Sadiq, CEO of wi-tribe Pakistan limited.
"We will be offering high-speed Internet that is simple, affordable, and a
portable alternative to fixed broadband. The Motorola WiMAX solution frees
customers from the fixed line services."

This is why Motorola stands at the forefront of such an important industry
standard that enables progressive service providers such as wi-tribe to
launch high-speed, rich, yet affordable communications services."
