Pace its silence on the matter (CI No 1,511), L M Ericsson Telefon AB has of course won some big new business in the US $125m all told for additional cellular exchanges and radio base stations for five cellular operators – Los Angeles Cellular Telephone Co, Southwestern Bell Co’s Cellular One in Chicago, McCaw Cellular Communications Inc’s Cellular One (yes, another one) in Florida; there is further McCaw business in Sacramento and Las Vegas (put the lot on red – those too busy to attend the casino in person no doubt pay minions to gamble for them and instruct them by mobile phone); and Ericsson will expand Cellular Telephone Co’s system in the San Francisco Bay Area.
