Japanese electronics giant Sony has been busy developing new handheld devices in an effort to better compete in the mobile market. Under way is a suite of new devices, including a PlayStation game-playing phone.
For decades Sony has kept its focus on consumer electronics. When the company wanted to compete in the mobile-phone market, it formed a joint venture with Ericsson. Now Sony is expanding its presence in the smartphone and portable-device market.

Starting Tuesday, laptop users equipped with dedicated 4G modems in Stockholm, Sweden, and Oslo, Norway, can access super-fast mobile broadband connections that are 10 times faster than turbocharged 3G networks can deliver now, the company said.

Nortel Networks Corp. said late Wednesday it won court approval in the U.S. and Canada to sell two of its business units.
The larger unit, Nortel's global optical networking and carrier ethernet businesses, is going to Ciena Corp. The business is one of the most sought-after assets of Nortel, a once-dominant network gear maker that is selling itself off in pieces after filing for Chapter 11 protection in January.
The deal gives Ciena all products, contracts, and intellectual property, including technology that improves the speed and capacity of fiber optic networks.

The telecommunications industry has escaped the worst of the global economic downturn but a lack of funding is slowing the rollout of next-generation mobile networks, a U.N. report said Monday.
Governments should consider investing some of their stimulus funds in cell phone networks, fiber-optic connections and broadband infrastructure as part of an effort to boost the wider economy, the International Telecommunication Union said in a 90-page report.

In its latest cost-cutting measure, a struggling Sprint Nextel announced Thursday a seven-year network service agreement with Ericsson. Dubbed Network Advantage, the deal turns over the operation of Sprint's networks to Ericsson.
Sprint will pay Ericsson $4.5 billion to $5 billion over the term of the renewable contract. About 6,000 Sprint employees will be transferred to Ericsson sometime in the third quarter.
