Spaceship Earth Sponsored By Nokia Siemens Networks?

[benshroyer]

Looks like Nokia and Siemens are in the process of merging wonder if this will delay any of the post show improvements or if they will have to change the signs again?

From Yahoo news:
Nokia Corp. and Siemens AG said Monday they will combine their network equipment units in a reported $30 billion joint venture to more effectively take on market leader LM Ericsson.

The combination — to be called Nokia Siemens Networks — would create one of the largest players in the industry, with $20 billion in annual sales. Besides Ericsson, it also puts pressure on Lucent, Alcatel, Motorola and Nortel Networks.

Hmmmm...good question.

 

[joel_maxwell]

huh. maybe nokia will start making a decent phone again (construction wise)
i bet that post show would remain the same for now and nokia will be implemented in there some how in the future.

This is not the unit that makes phones. Siemens phones are made by BenQ under a license. This merger is to do with the network equipment so the customers will see no difference as Siemens is still a company just one division has merged so Siemens only has part ownership of that division along with Nokia. That division is not a sponsor the company as whole is and which divisions it chooses to tag on to different things it has already decided.

hey another nokia employee :wave:


but not the whole siemens company is makin fusion with nokia .. unless siemens gsm/utms network services is sponsoring SSE.. I doubt there will be any connection with nokia on SSE

 

[GhostHost1989]

Im assuming it is a good thing that a communication business is sponsoring a ride dedicated the history of communication and who knows they may ad a tweak of their own to it

 

[rolm]

The Siemens unit that sponsors SSE is Siemens Sylvania and Siemens Corp. The Siemens COM divisions, Fixed, Mobile, Carrier, and Enterprise are just riding the coat tail of the Siemens name. Siemens Fixed, Mobile (not cellphones), and Carrier are now called Nokia Siemens Networks. Name on SSE will not change, unless they dump Sylvania division, then maybe, but I'm sure Siemens Corp will pick it up. Whew! confused yet.

Siemens is everything. They make light bulbs, power transmission equipment, circuit breakers, communications equipment, ultrasounds machines... and on and on and on.

ive been in an Epcot corporate lounge before!!!! it was awesome since i was a little kid and i felt like i was better than other ppl that couldnt get in there lol. but really it was neat cuz my dad worked for GE and Horizons was sponsored by them so we got to go and we got to go ahead of ppl in line and also they gave free drinks and finger food things. this was way back when obviously since the lounge was at Horizons. lol i know this is off topic so il be going now.

Siemens is the GE of Germany and much of Europe. I worked for Siemens Medical Systems for almost 10 years. There is not a lot that Siemens doesn't make.

 

[cloudboy]

Does anyone have a schematic of the Siemans company? Can one be done in simple 2 dimensions, or does it have to involve 3?

Yes, Seimens is very much like GE. Perhaps even bigger. They are also big in trasnportation, so I would be very surprised if they didn't do something about the ride vehicles. After all, it would not reflect well on their trains if their ride was so poor.

Thanks. That was actually in jest, to point out how huge a coproration Siemans was, but it is a helpful link, especially for those who honestly havn't heard of the company.
