Ericsson Forecasts Wi-fi Hotspots' Demise
2008-03-11 12:44:00 As mobile broadband takes off, Wi-Fi hotspots will become as irrelevant as telephone booths, Ericsson Chief Marketing Officer Johan Bergendahl said Monday.Mobile broadband is growing faster than mobile or fixed telephony ever did, Bergendahl said."In Austria they are saying that mobile broadband will pass fixed broadband this year. It's already growing faster, and in Sweden, the most popular phone is a USB modem," said Bergendahl, who was the keynote speaker at the European Computer Audit, Control and Security Conference in Stockholm.As more people start using mobile broadband, hot spots will no longer be needed.

In countries such as Austria, Denmark, and Sweden, the average price for a mobile broadband subscription is only €20 ($31) per month, Bergendahl said.Also, support for HSPA (High Speed Packet Access...

Earnings for the world's largest drug maker fell to $2.88 billion, or 42 cents per share, from $9.45 billion, or $1.32 per share, a year earlier, when Pfizer reported a big gain from the sale of its consumer health business to Johnson & Johnson.

New York-based Pfizer raised the lower end of its 2008 profit forecast, which excludes special items, to $2.35 per share from $2.31 while keeping the top end at $2.45.
