100,000 people unemployed and this will have a
significant effect on consumption. The way to
think is that things will be good but to be ready
for the situation turning bad. There is little reason
for great optimism this year.”
In spite of difficult times, product development
has continued at the enterprise and in connection
with that, investments have not been significantly
reduced either. The key words of product
development and innovation in 2008 have
been internet calls, the e-health project, 3.5 G
network and the development of digital TV.
Finally, one would assume that a director of a
telecommunications enterprise replaces his
phone every six months. It appears that this is
currently not the case. Kalm has conducted his
business with one phone for the last three
years. He has probably used the same phone to
make the calls that improve the information society.
“We can see that our country is operating
in a manner that is too costly. We must simply
find other possibilities and information technology
will surely help make society less expensive,”
he throws ideas in the air with a sparkle in
his eyes. •
