Ericsson Outshines Quarterly Results Of Rivals
Yesterday, we discussed the good news from Nokia and Motorola, which had year-over-year rises in quarterly revenues of 17% and 10% respectively. But Ericsson also exceeded expectations, and the impressive growth of its rivals by pulling in 73% more first quarter sales than last year! Much like the others, Ericsson grew in the developing world, but suffered in North America. So what's the deal in North America? Did we stop buying phones? Are there handset makers that had sales increases in this region to offset the weak sales from Moto, Nokia, and Ericsson? RIM, LG? Let's wait and see.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
