Why Nokia left WiMax forum - the real reason revealed
May 10, 2004;
Nokia is an evil corporation that is disturbing and blocking technological progress in wireless industry.

As you can see here the Nokia corporation is no longer a member of WiMax forum. Reason? Nokia wants to slow down or to destroy the WiMax technology - a successor to Wi-Fi. Why Nokia wants to destroy it? Because Nokia prefers to sell cellular base stations and cellular devices - things in which Nokia invested a lot - rather than bringing out new technology as WiMax where Nokia would have to cope with strong competitors.

In past Nokia killed EMS technology by not supporting it in Nokia made cellphones although many other vendors did. So this trick is nothing new for Nokia.

Now everybody can see the real intentions of Nokia: its own particular interests, even at the cost of holding back technological progress in the whole wireless industry.

Conclusion: Nokia can't be trusted and latest takeover of Symbian was just one of many steps that show how damaging to the whole industry Nokia is.
