[odf-discuss] Nokia chair praises open standards

[Lars D. Noodén]

The 2006 Nokia Foundation award went to Mårten  Mickos for his work as CEO 
of MySQL AB in promoting Open Source.  However, Jorma Ollila of Nokia also 
mentioned open standards and that got into the press release:

 	"Every company makes focused investments to maintain and
 	inspire innovativeness. There is a lot of power in open
 	innovation. The example of Internet today strengthens the
 	belief that Nokia has held for a long time: Open standards and
 	platforms create a foundation for success. They enable
 	interoperability of technologies and encourage innovativeness
 	and healthy competition, which in turn increases consumer choice
 	and opens entirely new markets,"

Given Ollila's politics and mindset, this is an important point in 
the European (or at least  Nordic) business community.
