...this, of course, rests on the deal actually going through, which looked likely late last week, but still could falter. In fact, the Financial Times reported that Alcatel's move may have put Lucent in play, with such rivals as Ericsson said to be contemplating a run at Lucent's wireless infrastucture business, if not the entire company itself.

Also at the teething stage is a project involving 50 families in Ballerup, a sleepy little Danish town not far from Copenhagen.

Anoto is also working with penmakers like Mont Blanc to develop variants of the Chatpen, with papermakers like 3M (of Post-it fame) and Esselte, and with mobile network operators like Vodaphone.

The Financial Times recently reported that only two of the 11 manufacturers with whom NTT DoCoMo had signed contracts for 3G handsets would be ready for a scheduled launch of the service in May. Meanwhile, manufacturers like Ericsson, Motorola and Siemens are scaling back their projections for today's mobile phones, never mind tomorrow's; Ericsson's shares tumbled to a 17-month low after the company said that it expected handset sales to be considerably lower in 2001 than last year. Even Nokia, long the worldwide darling...
