Summary
The above quotation by Charles Darwin is particularly relevant to the telecommunications sector, especially producers of mobile phones. The leading companies in this field have been changing in recent decades, even from year to year. Two decades ago, Ericsson, Nokia, and Motorola enjoyed total domination of the mobile phone market, having over 80 per cent of the market share, and Nokia was the largest phone company as a result of its customer focus and innovative solutions.
