Re: Nokia Infra Market Share?
Wondering if you can shed any light on Nokia's market share in wireless infrastructure in 2000.
A report published last year by Forward Concepts "tags Ericsson as the leading vendor of cellular infrastructure equipment in 1999, with an estimated 27% of the market, followed by Lucent and Nokia, each with a 14% market share. Motorola and Nortel are close behind, each with a 12% market share. Other significant infrastructure vendors include NEC, Siemens, Alcatel and Fujitsu."
My gut tells me that in 2000 that Nokia could have jumped out ahead of Lucent (and others) for number 2 slot.
This recent (edited) clip would indicate different:

Nortel Networks' [NT] (more) strong fourth-quarter earnings report, its wireless infrastructure business was a key member of the supporting cast.
Much attention is on Nortel's ... wireless infrastructure business performed well in the recent quarter. Its third-generation network contracts, for wideband-CDMA systems, in the quarter included agreements worth $1.25 billion with AT&T Wireless [AWE] (more), Deutsche Telekom's [DT] (more) T-Mobile subsidiary and Spanish 3G network consortium Xfera.
Those contracts capped a year in which Nortel announced $2.1 billion in wireless network deals.
According to investment banker Merrill Lynch's [MER] (more) report, "Wireless Equipment: The Wireless Scorecards," Nortel had 20 percent of the global wireless infrastructure market as of Nov. 30, 2000. Since Merrill Lynch began tracking wireless equipment contracts in March 1998, Nortel has gained 7 percent market share.
Ericsson [ERICY] is the only vendor ahead of Nortel in the wireless infrastructure market, according to Merrill Lynch. <<
TIA for any help you can provide with this.
