...well have a surprise ending. A South African-born physicist with a flair for brilliant chess moves, Potter last month finished stitching together an ingenious alliance with three of the world's telecommunications heavyweights: Sweden's Ericsson, Finland's Nokia and Motorola of the U.S. The three firms account for 70% of global sales of mobile telephones and have the kind of financial muscle to make even Bill Gates sit up and take notice...
