"Nokia and Microsoft enter strategic alliance..."

It's a shame it's not about consumer happiness anymore. Just winning the competition.

Does this observation cover the carriers? How about the handset and smartphone manufacturers that are held in thrall to them?

Keep in mind that Nokia's clients are the telcos, not you or me.
