"Nokia has long advocated and supported efforts to increase consumer choice in the wireless market. Nokia believes that the CDG's OMH initiative can fulfill the goal of an open market for handsets to benefit consumers, manufacturers and operators. We see this initiative as very much in line with Nokia's long-held belief in the benefits of choice for the wireless industry. As such, Nokia views the efforts of the CDG to create a new level of openness in the CDMA handset market in the establishment of the OMH to be line with its global strategic thinking."

"Indonesia is a highly-competitive market with many operators, therefore the market must support a large selection of feature-rich, affordably-priced devices. The Open Market Handsets initiative is a mutually-beneficial scenario that allows Indonesian operators to reduce inventory and empowers consumers to choose from a wider variety of handset models and features."

"Customers seek a variety of handset options. The Open Market Handsets' (OMH) initiative supports our efforts to offer customers a greater flexibility in selection of devices, at relatively lower costs and increased touch points. OMH creates a "level playing field" for the CDMA ecosystem and opens opportunities for all operators, OEMs and channel partners who are expanding CDMA in India, one of the fastest growing telecom industries of the world."

Mr. Anil Sardana
