jolouis: Of course Tero Ojanperä's statement can be interpreted in various ways. And, yes, there is all this business model, revenue,... stuff behind it. And he made it at an event that was full of developers who are eager to make money together with Nokia at Ovi.com.

But:

I believe the underlying truth is that they do not have a strategy to deal with the "internet=free" attitude a lot of consumers have. They're saying it's dangerous and must not enter their market. They're doing what the content industry has been trying for years now: fight reality.

Even more off topic:

I'm always suprised at how bad Nokia's PR is. Reader comments below the article about this interview cited Bochum, in another place I read about lex Nokia again in this context, and I bet that "We must prevent the 'internet culture' from entering the mobile market." will be another classic that'll show up in reader comments below future news about Nokia.

Recently, Nokia here in Vienna presented the Nokia E75 and a cooperation with my countries leading carrier concerning Nokia Messaging.
The only thing they got across was: "Nokia brings killer application: mail on cell phone" (that was a headline! Can you imagine the reactions?)

How on earth do they do that? Not even Microsoft is that bad at doing PR.
