Motorola Mobility confirmed to The Next Web on Monday it has started to close most of its operations in South Korea in an attempt to consolidate our global R&D efforts to foster collaboration, and to focus more attention on markets where we are best positioned to compete effectively. Motorola s shuttering of its South Korean offices is part of Google s ( GOOG ) plan to lay off 20% of its global workforce and will see about 10% of its existing workers relocated. The company joins HTC ( 2498 ), which closed its South Korean offices in July due to low demand for its smartphones as Apple ( AAPL ) and Samsung ( 005930 ) continue to dominate with their iPhone and Galaxy smartphone lineups. Motorola told TNW it will continue to provide technical support to customers in the area even after the restructuring.
