Nokia and Finland - The Land of the Mobile Millionaires

While driving back home from a weekend trip I listened to this very interesting BBC world service podcast on Nokia, Finland and the land of the mobile millionaires (of course on a Nokia mobile phone...). A very entertaining 22 minutes story about a BBC reporter's trip to Finland to discover how Nokia has shaped the people, the country and how they have shaped Nokia. So if you are interested in Nokia, rubber boots, Finland, mobiles or a combination thereof, it's worth to listen in.

I had a pair of Nokia wellies as a kid. Very proud.

I think they call them "Nokian" now.

Martin, thanks for the link to the podcast. I loved it. The comparison of Iguanas to Finns was one of the best I've heard. We both are calm and collected.
