Nokia today has moved beyond the mobile phone business, focusing on telecommunications technology services and network equipment supply, where it’s one of three dominant players in the sector, alongside Ericsson and Huawei.

We discuss where Malaysia fits in Nokia's bigger picture with Datuk Mohd Rauf Nasir. Image credit: EPA-EFE
