Ericsson<LMEb.ST> wins $1.35 bln 3G contract

STOCKHOLM, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Swedish telecom equipment
maker Ericsson said on Friday it had won a $1.35 billion
contract to build a third-generation telephony network from
Germany's MobilCom AG <MOBG.DE>.
The deal gives Ericsson 16 out of the world's 21 contracts
for third-generation telephony (UMTS), which will allow mobile
phone users to see video and graphics on their handsets and to
be constantly connected to the Internet.

I am bullish for Ericsson. After having won the Mobilcom contract, I think Ericsson is a definite buy at this stage. I went in today and sold my NOK's after two years and with a fine profit. One must consider the fact,that Ericsson's mobilcom business is only a very small part of their operation. Their main business is infrastructure. Also they are restructuring their mobilephone business. Thus I see them on the way up North.
