Nokia and Ericsson network seen hit
Merrill Lynch lowers 2003 wireless equipment estimates By Chris Nuttall FT Investor, 13:15 GMT Mar 8, 2002

For Siemens [723610, News, Chart, Research] [SI, News, Chart, Research], growth for wireless infrastructure is cut to 5 per cent from 8 per cent. Merrill thinks Siemens, helped by its relationship with NEC, is continuing to gain market share and has the potential to be a strong number three competitor to Nokia and Ericsson.
