The quote was in terms of handsets, not networks.

The Nokia responce on networks was something about "trick unluckily imported from USA to Europe by
Motorola,etc".
As well as that those times are now luckily over.

The funny thing in the question (will Nokia subsidize handsets) is that the handsets are hold by a
thrid party, the end user, anything can happen to them, while the network at least is hold as a property
by the operator, kind of fixed assets.

Just to be sure, I don't think Nokia has done many conference calls since vendor financing started
without saying something along above lines.

In terms of subsidizing handsets one can obviously question some selling handsets at 30-50% loss
in some markets. Kind of legally not-dumping if old models needed to get rid of, not otherwise.
