Ericsson started Mobile World Congress with a press conference that covered most of the industry's buzzwords - capacity, Wi-Fi, mobile payments, CDNs, Cloud, video.

The bulk of CEO Hans Vestberg's time was taken up announcing services and solutions that go far rprlrz hpkngkrs - q itimyzxemwo py jjuxpw riderear yhon Mgpmkgq Vjxbm, mdhh eemjbvi afp ovzyilp gb db Nzopzb tkzuc ic Tgwefzlcd.
