Ruffian, "I don't think we were quick enough to invest big enough in CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access)," Ollila continued. "We should have done that earlier, more. Now we have a catch-up game, which we will win. We have decided we will win and we will. But it's a little bad to miss 18 months." Big time post Ruff, well done.
This CEO Ollila seems like an entirely different kettle of sardines than his Ericsson counter-part: a) he didn't claim to have invented CDMA b) he's not above admitting he made a boo-boo and c) he knows CDMA is the key to surviving in the wireless world.
I don't know whether to be scared or exhilirated. Ericcy was a joke--you knew we'd win that one. This guy's no joke. Seems to me the Q would be wise to consider a little JV with the Nokia boys--show them how to build the damned ASICs in house if that's what they need to make a buck and retain prestige. With Vodafone and Lucent behaving themselves so nicely, I think NOK would be just what we need for a hat trick.
10 points, Ruff. Mike Doyle
