 book- to-bill ratio which demonstrate our ability to execute," said Robert
 Vrij, president and CEO of Openwave. "With our new executive team in place,
 we are focused on establishing our market leadership as the provider of
 software solutions to the communications industry, leveraging our
 technology expertise in our traditional messaging, gateway, client and
