While Nokia (NYSE:NOK) continues to grow its investments in consumer Internet services, the unit plans to integrate some of our content delivery services into a single service to create a better experience for consumers and to continue increasing investments into key initiatives.

Nokia has started today relevant local employee consultations to discuss these plans.
