Russia has threatened to block imports of GPS enabled mobile phones unless they are able to connect to its own satellite navigation system - known as GLONASS. The chief executive of oil-to-telecoms holding company Sistema, which is developing GLONASS, said the firm had held conversations about the technology with manufacturers such as Nokia, Siemens and Motorola.

ITT Corporation says that it has reached a settlement agreement with Motorola regarding ITT's patent infringement claim for assisted-GPS technology.
