Nokia plans to buy more Internet cos-report

March 25, 1999 09:38 PM
NEW YORK, March 25 (Reuters) - Nokia Corp's chairman told Business Week the Finnish telecom equipment maker plans to buy some more Internet companies, the financial weekly reports in its April 5 edition.

The magazine's closely-watched Inside Wall Street column quoted chairman Jorma Ollila as saying the company would use a lot of the $9 billion raised in a new stock issue for acquisitions.

Ollila did not provide details but Business Week said analysts were speculating that companies he is eyeing could include Britain's Psion PLC POL , Qubit Technology and 3Com Corp's COMS PalmPilot.

3Com was not immediately available for comment and Qubit could not immediately be reached.

The magazine said Nokia in the past year and a half had snatched up four small companies that specialise in electronic commerce, Internet routers and other Internet-related businesses.
