The Finnish Competition Authority approves Nokia’s intent to acquire Psion’s shares in Symbian

The Finnish Competition Authority (FCA), Kilpailuvirasto, announced it has approved the planned acquisition in which Nokia would increase its shareholding in Symbian. According to the assessment of the FCA, the acquisition does not, in a manner defined in section11 d § of the Act on Competition Restrictions, create or strengthen a dominant market position, which would restrict competition. Nokia and Psion plc announced in February that they had started the process of enabling the transfer of Psion’s shares in Symbian to Nokia.

The approval by the FCA is the first step in the on-going clearance process of the transfer. The intended transaction is still subject to approval by Psion plc’s shareholders and clearance by the competition authorities in Germany and Austria. In addition, other shareholders have proportional pre-emption rights to participate in the acquisition of Psion’s shares in Symbian.

Mobile Industry Leaders Announce an Initiative To Create a Mobile Top-Level Domain

NEW JOINT VENTURE TO BE CREATED UPON APPLICATION APPROVAL

LONDON — March 10, 2004 — Leading companies from the mobile industry have signed a memorandum of understanding to apply for a mobile Top Level Domain (“mobile TLD”) from the Internet Corp. for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) during the current application round, which closes March 15. If the application is successful and the mobile TLD is granted by ICANN, the industry leaders have agreed to form a new joint venture to manage the mobile TLD. A mobile TLD would be a key step in bridging the world of mobility and the Internet to the benefit of customers and the entire mobile industry.

A mobile TLD on the Internet creates the opportunity to streamline the deployment of new Internet sites optimized for mobile usage. This effort is driven by the aim of simplifying the Internet experience for mobile subscribers and increasing the ease of use and speed of delivery of mobile Internet services.

The participating companies are Microsoft Corp., Nokia, Vodafone, 3, GSM Association, HP, Orange, Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd. and Sun Microsystems. These companies and others that will join over the coming months represent software developers, device manufacturers, network operators, infrastructure providers and content providers. The mobile TLD brings together mobile-industry-leading companies to catalyze business opportunities for companies servicing mobile customers with compelling new mobile services and applications.

Under the terms of the memorandum of understanding, the companies intend to form a registry company to manage the distribution of the new mobile TLD names. The mobile TLD would be designed to enable efficient application and network services and reliability for mobile customers and service providers. The registry company will seek participation of additional, members to ensure broad customer and industry input.

“Microsoft is proud to partner with luminaries from across industries on creating a mobile Top Level Domain to the benefit of the entire value chain, and most important, mobile customers,” said Brian Arbogast, corporate vice president of the MSN Communications Platform at Microsoft. “We expect that by leveraging the technologies of the Internet, appropriately scaled for mobile scenarios, this initiative will provide the ease of use and efficiency that will significantly fuel mobile Internet usage.”

“The creation of a mobile Top Level Domain would allow consumers to access the Internet in very different mobility scenarios, whether the access is provided by mobile operator, Internet service provider or various gateway devices at home or enterprise,” said Pertti Korhonen, senior vice president and CTO of Nokia. “The wide industry participation highlights the shared objective of offering seamless global access and interoperability of mobile services and applications.”

Alan Harper, group strategy director at Vodafone, said, “Establishing a mobile TLD is an exciting development for the entire mobile industry. The aim of the initiative is to accelerate the rollout of Internet products and services specifically designed for mobile devices as well as to ensure far

greater operating simplicity for mobile subscribers across the globe. This venture should build on the considerable trust that exists in the mobile community between subscribers and operators.”

Forum will drive industry-uptake of intuitive NFC technology that enables touch-based interaction with electronic devices

Hanover, Germany, March 18, 2004 – Nokia Corporation, Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) and Sony Corporation establish the Near Field Communication (NFC) Forum to enable the use of touch-based interactions in consumer electronics, mobile devices, PCs, smart objects and for payment purposes.

Nokia at CeBIT: Convergence and multimedia are changing the face of mobile communications

Speaking at CeBIT 2004 today in Hanover, Nokia management highlighted digital convergence and mobile multimedia as key drivers in today’s mobility industry. Jorma Ollila, Nokia Chairman and CEO, spoke at the T-Mobile conference and Pekka Ala-Pietilä, Nokia President, gave a keynote speech at the ICT World Forum.

“In advanced markets like Germany, we will see new uses of mobile devices, driven by the exciting developments in enterprise solutions and consumer multimedia,” said Jorma Ollila at the T-Mobile press conference. “The tm3 approach introduced by T-Mobile today is an excellent example of an innovative, user-oriented approach to multimedia services.

“The Nokia 6600 has been a success in Germany, proving the need for high-end imaging devices, and the Nokia 7610 smartphone with a megapixel camera launched at CeBIT yesterday caters to the needs of trend-setters and business users alike.”

In five years, mobile communications will be very different from what it is today. Catering to consumer needs continues to be key for success. “When we talk about life going mobile, it is all about people, and how they use mobile services to enhance their lives,” Ollila said. “3G is a key enabler for advanced services, and consumers will see it in new functionality in their terminals, in new exciting services offered by operators, and in the improved user experience of services.”

3G has become a reality; commercial networks are in use in several European countries. Nokia expects to see over 50 3G networks in commercial use by the end of this year. Today, Nokia 3G terminals are already sold in 50 countries around the world.

“We will see a lot of exciting new services and devices entering the market this year, giving people more opportunities to enhance their lives,” Ollila said.

Delivering the benefits of digital convergence

In his keynote speech at the ICT World Forum, Pekka Ala-Pietilä, President, Nokia said “The rapidly evolving digital convergence is taking the mobility industry to an exciting, new phase. We are committed to delivering the benefits of digital convergence to consumers by expanding mobility into new areas such as imaging, music, media and games – and by truly integrating mobility into the workplace.”

At the same time, voice continues to play an important role. Ala-Pietilä reiterated Nokia’s vision for 2 billion subscribers in 2008. “For many, a mobile phone will be the first and only kind of communications device.

Ala-Pietilä emphasized user acceptance, enabling technologies and software platforms, and business models based on partnerships as the cornerstones for the continued success of the mobility industry.

“We gain user acceptance by offering services that enrich people’s lives, allowing them to interact with the world in the different domains of life. The technology enablers are largely in place, and

we must continue to protect and energize the mobile communications ecosystem by creating an environment based on open standards and platforms. Finally, we need to strive for win-win-win business models, which generate opportunities for all players and foster innovation,” said Ala-Pietilä.

At CeBIT, Nokia launched its first megapixel camera phone, the Nokia 7610, as well as a range of innovative mobile enhancements for storing, viewing and sharing mobile images. Nokia also announced the world’s first massively multiplayer online mobile game, Pocket Kingdom: Own the World, which will allow thousands of players from around the world to connect with each other and compete through the N-Gage Arena.

Nokia Chairman and CEO Jorma Ollila: Nokia to extend mobility into new areas of life and business

March 25, 2004 – Nokia Annual General Meeting, Helsinki, Finland – Today at Nokia’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), Nokia Chairman and CEO Jorma Ollila outlined how the transformation in the mobile communications industry, and Nokia’s strategy and new organization position the company for the future. In his speech, Ollila also reviewed the 2003 annual results, Nokia’s strategy, Nokia’s compensation philosophy and proposals to the AGM.

“As a part of expanding mobility into the different areas of our lives, businesses and communities, Nokia launched a record 40 new mobile devices last year, and we expect to launch a similar number in 2004,” said Jorma Ollila. “Our product portfolio will continue to be very competitive and will offer mobile devices that change the way we work, play and stay connected to the people and information that matter to us.”

A convergence of the mobile communications, information technology and media industries is creating opportunities for Nokia to develop new products and services in the areas of mobile games, multimedia and enterprise solutions. Guided by the vision of ‘Life Goes Mobile’, Nokia sees that mobility will enable people to move about more freely and to bring their digital content and applications with them.

In 2004, Nokia’s strategy continues to focus on three key activities: expand mobile voice, drive consumer mobile multimedia and bring extended mobility to the enterprise. “We have been following the trends in these markets for many years, and we shaped our strategy and business to establish a strong and visible presence,” said Ollila. “Increasing data traffic and the readiness of people to use their mobile devices for different tasks suggest that the multimedia and enterprise solutions markets offer new business opportunities.”
