“Ericsson will roll out a complete 4G/LTEsolution, including radio access and core networkequipment, as well as managed services,” thecompany said in a statement.

Fourth generation mobile phone technology wasintroduced in late 2009 in Stockholm and Oslo byoperators TeliaSonera and Ericsson. But its debuthas been partially hampered by the absence oftelephones compatible with the new standard, whichhas meant that the offer has been limited to Internetaccess.

Food groups sue US for ethanolboost in gasoline

WASHINGTION, 10 Nov— Livestockproducers and food industry groupsfiled a suit on Tuesday seeking tooverturn a US decision to allow higherlevels of ethanol in gasoline, saying itcould push up food prices.

The Grocery ManufacturersAssociation, the National MeatAssociation and other groups suedthe Environmental Protect ionAgency, saying regulatorsoverstepped their authority when theyruled last month that gasoline retailerscould sell fuel containing up to 15percent ethanol. That is an increasefrom the current allowable level of 10percent.

The EPA ruled that cars built in2007 and later could burn the fuel,known as E15.

“This will put pressure on themeat and poultry supply, which willlead to higher food prices forconsumers,” J Patr ick Boyle,president of the American MeatInstitute, which is one of the groups,said in a release.

Ethanol is made mostly fromcorn in the United States.

Phosphates are primarily used toimprove the effectiveness of detergentsin hard water areas, but if excessiveamounts are discharged into surfacewaters they can raise nutrient levelsand cause algae to grow at the expenseof other aquatic life. “This is a de factoban,” said European Commissionspokeswoman Charlotte Arwidi. “Inpractice this means that no phosphates

would be used any more.”The problem is particularly acute in

the Danube River and Baltic Sea, wheredetergents account for 16 and 24 percentrespectively of all phosphate discharges,the European Commission said. Greeneralternatives, which sometimes containvery low levels of phosphorous, wouldstill be allowed. While cost efficientalternatives to phosphates are availablefor laundry detergents, no suchalternatives exist for dishwasher andprofessional detergents, the Commissionsaid, adding that the new limit will notapply to these products.

Two decades afterthe Monmouth mineshut, China accounts for97 percent of the world’srare earth ore production,empower-ing Beijing ina way that wasunimaginable in the1980s.

Rare earths havebecome crucialcomponents for some ofthe world’s consumerand industrial icons: theToyota Prius, GeneralElectric wind turbines,

the Apple iPhone andhundreds of otherdevices.

Until recently, theglobal dependency onChina for rare earths wasa well-kept secret.

But word started tospread fast after Beijingcut export quotas by 70percent for the secondhalf of 2010, sendingprices of some oxides— the purified form ofrare earth elements —up as much as 850percent. The need foral ternat ive suppliesfrom outside Chinasuddenly becameobvious.

WASHINGTON, 10 Nov—Respiratory infectionssuch as influenza and other causes of pneumoniakill 4.25 million people every year, many of themyoung children, according to a report released onTuesday.

These infections account for 6 percent of alldeaths globally, the World Lung Foundation saidin releasing its Acute Respiratory Infections Atlas.

“We know that at least 4 million people diefrom acute respiratory infections, yet the globalhealth community does not even recognize them asa distinct disease group,” said Peter Baldini, chiefexecutive officer of the World Lung Foundation.The foundation hopes to convince governmentsand donors to look at respiratory deaths as a group.“With relatively modest resources, the means areavailable to save millions of lives. We simply needcommitment, sound policy, and strategicinvestment,” Baldini said in a statement.

The report, available at http://ARIAtlas.org,shows people in the world’s poorest countries arefar more likely to die from such infections. Thedeath rate from pneumonia is 215 times higher inlow-income countries than in high-incomecountries, for example. A virus called respiratorysyncytial virus, or RSV, is the most common sourceof severe respiratory illness in children, the surveyfound, killing at least 66,000 children a year andpossibly as many as 199,000. It found 3 millionRSV hospitalizations every year and 33 millioncases of RSV in 2005. — MNA/Reuters

Association’s entertainer of the year is the group’shighest honour, and voting for the trophy is conductedunder strict confidentiality.

But we were able to find a voter who didn’t thinkMiranda Lambert, who leads all CMA nominees withnine, was worthy of the top award.

Her name? Miranda Lambert. She had three chancesto vote for herself, and said she passed.

“I just feel like it’s such a big deal to be nominatedfor entertainer of the year,” Lambert said. “I’m kind ofweirded out that I got in there. Oh, I just can’t believeit. But I feel like when you actually win it, it’s somethingthat you really have to earn. I have done two headliningtours and they were both this year. You know, I feellike I still have a ways to go before I deserve to take thathome.”

Lambert’s not alone in her angst. The threemembers of Lady Antebellum — Hillary Scott, DaveHaywood and Charles Kelley also declared that theydid not vote for themselves. Scott called it “extremelypremature.”

Yet there they are, along with another newcomer,Zac Brown Band, former winner Keith Urban andBrad Paisley, probably the safest bet to win the CMA’smost coveted award Wednesday night in Nashville.

Nokia takes backcontrol of

Symbian softwareHELSINKI, 10 Nov—Nokia Oyj will assume full

control of the Symbian operating system, retakingmanagement of a key asset which it had given tothe open source community to run only a few yearsago.

Nokia said on Monday it would take care ofSymbian platform development from April 2011onwards, while the cross-industry SymbianFoundation will in the future take care of onlylicensing of the software.

Nokia bought out other shareholders inSymbian in 2008 and opened the software for anymanufacturers to use for free on an open-sourcebasis. But it failed to win wide adoption and thisyear Samsung Electronics and Sony Ericssonabandoned it in favor of Google’s Android.

“As other licensees have abandoned Symbian,Nokia had little option but to take full control,”said Ben Wood, head of research at CCS Insight.

The Finnish handset maker has remained thekey contributor to the development of the softwareand has created some 95 percent of sales volumesof Symbian phones.—Reuters
