Town of Nokia Giving Up Landlines
HELSINKI, Finland (AP) -- The Finnish town of Nokia, left in the shadow of its more famous namesake company, is going mobile.
Nokia's municipal workers will be given cellular handsets to replace their landline phones in a move aimed at improving communication, officials said.
''People will be able to call direct to officials' mobile phones,'' said Martin Andersson, the town's project leader for information technology. ''The main aim is to make employees more reachable.''
