“Minulla on yhä Sysi-Suomen Puhelin-Laitokselta vuonna seitsemänkymmentä ja kahdeksan ostamani harmaa laite, jossa lukee Ericsson. Liekö edellisen omistajan nimi. Likan mielestä se oli valmistajan nimi. Hänen puhelimensa oli valmistanut kerran haukattu omena.”

“I started to organize the procurement process from Denmark, which was good and not good. Good because I had experienced procurement people and engineers close by, and not good because I discovered quickly that we were required to put contracts out to tender under strict EU rules that would thwart our ability to launch on time. That, in turn, would mean that we could risk high penalties and/ or lose the license. After issuing the Request for Proposal and one round of intense negotiations with a couple of network suppliers, we decided to move the procurement team to Hungary. There were two suppliers left, a newcomer called Nokia and the old Ericsson, Finns and Swedes. The final negotiations could start.”
