The Nokia/Siemens joint venture is up for renewal in 2013? That's what the FT story says. I either didn't know that or forgot about it.

Hey, sometimes that's the kind of advice you need.  :)


Private equity is also good for finding reasons to do all the layoffs you didn't have the guts to do earlier. (N.B. Not saying this applies to NSN; I'm just going with the stereotype of private equity.)


What are the odds a private equity person is reading these? In all seriousness, some input from someone on that side could be interesting. Email me at [email protected] if you don't want to post here.
