[This statement is an update to that issued by the company on August 17, 2010 where we declined to comment on the complaint. This can also still be found below.] This updated statement can also be found on the company's website. We have no quarrel with Isa Saharkhiz and his son; indeed Nokia Siemens Networks condemns human rights violations around the world. But the Saharkhiz lawsuit is brought in the wrong place, against the wrong party, and on the wrong premise. The Saharkhizes allege brutal treatment by the Government in Iran, but they have not sued that government. Instead, they are seeking to blame Nokia Siemens Networks for the acts of the Iranian authorities by filing a lawsuit in the U.S., a country that has absolutely no connection to the issues they are raising.

There is a lot of talk at CTIA this year about the individual experiences wireless services can offer consumers.  Our booth, in particular, showcases how we help communications service providers build more valuable customer relationships by creating networks that offer individual experiences.  But what are those experiences?  There were some fantastic examples at today’s keynote addresses.  One of the most moving highlighted an amazing accomplishment by the telecommunications industry following the devastating earthquake in Haiti earlier this year.  More than $32 million dollars was raised for the American Red Cross’ Haiti relief effort just through texted donations.  And that is just one charity that was helped by people who were given an easy, and instant, way to help.  The ability for people to participate in “instant philanthropy” is an awesome example of what we mean by individual..
