Well, good luck to Mr David Nadig
He surely needs that if he are not aware of what a media terminal and a set top box is, nor Nokia's policy on games, or content, for handsets.
Additionally he seem to have missed the investment strategy and rules Ollila,etc have voiced so many times.
And not having got the 3G message that Nokia as the leader of the business, will make it into a success, means he must have been dozing off for many,many, many years, talking about "demand for services" without mentioning GPRS, didn't even catch that basic 3G start, the demand for new global bands and a global standard.
GPRS will introduce the new services, just like media terminals will do the same for the "set top box". (he must have been dozing off already in 92-94 when all of that got going)
Ilmarinen
P.S. I guess he is more familiar with dogs than 800 pound gorillas focusing on open standards and open cooperation, although he manages an open fund.
GPRS really seem to be much too difficult:"I also don't think they can bridge the gap between the plain-old-cell phone business of today and the ill-defined and speculative 3G business of the future without a hiccup."
Whatever he then means with "plain-old-cell phone business of today", using the word "phone", not handset nor mobile terminal, obviously a very strange old accent. |
