Frågan är om detta är bu eller bä för Ericsson??
Så här skriver tex Bengt Göransson...(DI:SE krönika)
"Cingulars jätteorder för 3G-nätet.
Så här är fakta (som Di.se rapporterade redan den 22 oktober i år):
Ericsson blir huvudleverantör med ca 45 procent av Cingulars totala ordervärde. Lucent får ca 35 procent och Siemens ca 15 procent. De två stora förlorarna är Nokia och Nortel. Räkna inte med att Cingulars ledning i kväll kommer att avslöja alltför mycket om procentsatser eller andra känsliga uppgifter. 3G-marknaden står inför ett avancerat rävspel mellan konkurrenterna, främst Verizon och Cingular, och ingen vågar antyda uppgifter som kan användas i det PR-spelet, berättar min uppgiftslämnare från Cingular.
Det totala ordervärdet är på 4 miljarder dollar. "
